"I went with Woody and became one of the “Four Brothers” sax section. I loved that band! We were all young and had the same ideas. I’d always worried about what other guys were thinking in all the bands I’d been in, and in Woody’s I found out: they were thinking the same thing I was."
....Zoot Sims

"Zoot was so imaginative and had an indestructible ability to swing.........Nobody ever heard him play a solo when they didn’t hear something they liked."
....Dave McKenna, pianist
