The Modern Art of Jazz by Zoot Sims (also released as One to Blow On ) is an album by American jazz saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded in 1956 and released on the Dawn label.[ 1] [ 2]
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, with the review by Ken Dryden stating: "These early 1956 sessions feature Zoot Sims in top form playing a pair of standards and originals by members of the quintet. Bob Brookmeyer is the perfect foil for the tenor saxophonist, as they seamlessly interweave intricate lines throughout the record".[ 3]
