ZoOt Sims Humor

[Zoot]

Ik heb de Nick  :shock: gepikt van de saxofonist van de MuppetShow, zelfs toen ik  :? nog geen sax speelde  :?  vond ik dat al een fantatisch figuur. Op dit forum werd ik er op gewezen dat dat karakter genoemd was naar   Zoot Sims .

ergens op internet kwam ik dit tegen:

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.

Zoot Sims... eigenlijk ook een naam die te weinig wordt genoemd naar mijn mening... geweldige saxofonist... Euhh.. jij ook hoor Zoot!

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...
