	Sims� honking tenor leads his quartet through this easy-swinging tribute to Duke Ellington, unearthed from a live gig in Philly from the early 1980s. It�s a pleasant enough effort, suffering mostly from a lack of inspiration. Zoot�s playing is fine, bluesy and brisk and even a bit flashy in spots, but his three sidemen don�t really up the ante -- although pianist Benny Aronov does catch fire midway through a (too long) solo. As an introduction to Ellington for novice jazz fans, it�s at least straightforward and easy to grasp, but you�d of course do better checking out the source. Best-suited for Zoot fans.
