Down Home is an album by American jazz tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims. Billboard magazine called it an "unusual album", in that Sims "applied his improvisational skill to a number of real oldies". Down Beat called it "a marvellous example of Sims' ability to swing".

Tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded on a regular basis as a leader for most of 45 years, and virtually all of his many sessions are worth acquiring. Sims's Bethlehem date also gives one a look at the great pianist Dave McKenna in his early days, along with bassist George Tucker and drummer Dannie Richmond. Sims mostly explores standards from the swing era (including a rare version of "Bill Bailey") on this enjoyable and consistently swinging set. Track Listing.
