Hawthorne Nights is an album by saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded in 1976 and released by the Pablo label the following year.
[1][2][3][4] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "not a quartet outing but an opportunity for his tenor to be showcased while joined by a nine-piece group that includes six horns (three reeds among them).
Bill Holman's inventive arrangements are a large part as to why the date is successful but Sims's playing on the five standards, two Holman pieces and his own "Dark Cloud" should not be overlooked.
Fortunately there is also some solo space saved for the talented sidemen ... A well-rounded set of swinging jazz".
