Q: ”Does it affect your playing much when you don’t play or do you manage to play an hour or so a day just to keep the chops up?”

A: Zoot Sims: “No, I never, I never do.”

Interviewer: “No?”

Zoot Sims: “I should, but it's just kind of boring. You know, you're so used to having a rhythm section and you have to know how to practice, I guess, and I never got into it. I like duets. If Al Cohn comes over or somebody and with some duet books, it's fun.”
