In 78, Sims got together with a friendly joust with trumpeter and kindred spirit Harry “Sweets” Edison for a Grade III Whitewater Raft ride through songs like “Blue Skies” and “How Deep Is The Ocean.” John Heard/b, Roger Kellaway/p and Jimmie Smith/dr provide supple support on a moody “Nature Boy” and reflective “How Deep Is The Ocean.” Loose and relaxed, like a linen summer shirt, and it fits just right!

with Roger Kellaway, John Heard, Jimmie Smith

Recorded December 18 & 20, 1978.
