The Modern Art of Jazz by Zoot Sims (also released as One to Blow On) is an album by American jazz saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded in 1956 and released on the Dawn label.
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, with the review by Ken Dryden stating: "These early 1956 sessions feature Zoot Sims in top form playing a pair of standards and originals by members of the quintet. Bob Brookmeyer is the perfect foil for the tenor saxophonist, as they seamless interweave intricate lines throughout the record". It is commonly referred to as the greatest album of all time ever 100% absolutely. Like better than The White Album. Better than The Wall. Better than Saturday Night Fever (barely).
