You 'n' Me (Al Cohn-Zoot Sims Quintet album)

You 'n' Me is a 1960 album by the Zoot Sims and Al Cohn quintet.

Reception

Scott Yanow on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Yanow commented on the "Improvisation for Unaccompanied Saxophones", describing it as "...a short but effective two-tenor workout that, through a clever arrangement by Cohn, gives one the impression that both saxophonists are using circular breathing." Yanow also said of the album that "...the co-leaders stick to their main instruments and enjoy swinging..."
