From A to...Z

From A to...Z is an album by the Al Cohn/Zoot Sims Sextet recorded in early 1956 for the RCA Victor label.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated " Al and Zoot avoid obvious material ("Somebody Loves Me" and "East of the Sun" are the only standards) in favor of swinging "modern" originals."
