ZOOT SIMS HUMOR
Zoot was standing out in the alley back of a club between
sets where he was playing when a bum came up and said,
" I only need seventy five cents more to buy a drink."
Zoot reached in his pocket and gave him the money.
After the bum walked away up the alley, Zoot ran after him,
stopped him and said ,"Wait a minute. How do I know
you're not going to go around the corner and buy a bowl
of soup?"
============================================================================
Zoot was rarely at a loss for words. When asked by a
fan how he could play so well when he was loaded,
he replied, "I practice when I'm loaded.
==========================================================================
Early one evening Zoot had just finished a recording
session and was joined by guitarist Jim Hall and his
wife Jane. Zoot complained of his tiring schedule
-- recording all day followed by an appearance at The
Half Note that night. Jane mentioned that if Zoot wanted,
she had a Dexedrine.
"I don't think they're good for you, they're pretty strong.
I usually open one up and pour some out." "Pour some
out?" said Zoot. "Are you crazy? Don't you know there
are people SLEEPING in Europe?
============================================================================
On a tour of Europe with Chet Baker, Chet wanted Zoot
to meet the son of Benito Mussolini, who happened to be
Italy's best jazz artist. Chet prompted Zoot to please say
something nice when being introduced to him. While
shaking the hand of the infamous leader's son
Zoot said, "Sorry to hear about your Dad."
============================================================================
Stan Getz, through much of his career, was known to be
one of the more>unpredictable personalities in the jazz
world. Asked to describe his sometime rival, Zoot
remarked, "Stan Getz is a nice bunch of people.

Van Dexedrine, best een heftig goedje, kun je bijvoorbeeld speed maken. Ze werden vooral gebruikt door huisvrouwen en vrachtwagenchauffeurs, die uppers zijn nu verboden maar werden in de jaren vijftig/zestig gewoon bij de drogist verkocht in de V.S.
BIZAR, zeker gezien het Amerikaanse drugsbeleid...
