Down Home is an album by American jazz tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims.
Billboard magazine called it an "unusual album", in that Sims "applied his improvisational skill to a number of real oldies".
[2] The magazine reviewed the singles as well, noting the "all-star rhythm section"[4] and generally saying the songs were "perfect for jazz jukeboxes".
[6] Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, called it "enjoyable and consistently swinging", noting that it "gives one a look at the great pianist Dave McKenna in his early days".
[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "a classic Zoot date, with the saxophonist swinging as hard as ever and McKenna offering his characteristic full-blooded support".
