Jazz
Kai Winding, J.J. Johnson (trombone)
Dick Katz (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Osie Johnson (drums, percussion)
2 LPs on 1 CD:
* TROMBONE FOR 2 (w/ J.J. Johnson) (1955)
* THE TROMBONE SOUND (1956)
Kai Winding was one of the finest trombonists to emerge from the bebop era. On "Trombone for Two," he is joined by a frequent collaborator, trombonist J.J. Johnson, and Dick Katz, Paul Chambers and Osie Johnson. Among the highlights are "Let's Get Away From It All" and "Whistle While You Work." "The Trombone Sound" features Winding and his septet, including four trombones in all.
This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Kai Winding LPs: Trombone for Two, with J.J. Johnson, and The Trombone Sound, both originally issued on Columbia in 1955 and 1956, respectively. Highlights among the 23 tracks include "Let's Get Away from It All," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," and "I Want to Be Happy," which provide an entertaining combination of pop standards and bop.

Kai Winding
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s
Born: May 18, 1922 in Aarhus, Denmark
Died: May 06, 1983 in Yonkers, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Cool, Hard Bop
One of the finest trombonists to emerge from the bebop era, Kai Winding was always to an extent overshadowed by J.J. Johnson, although they co-led one of the most popular jazz groups of the mid-'50s. Born in Denmark, Winding emigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was 12. He had short stints with the orchestras of Alvino Rey and Sonny Dunham, and played in a service band in the Coast Guard for three years. Winding's first burst of fame occurred during his year with Stan Kenton's Orchestra (1946-1947), during which his phrasing influenced and was adopted by the other trombonists, leading to a permanent change in the Kenton sound. He also participated in some early bop sessions, played with Tadd Dameron (1948-1949), and was on one of the Miles Davis' nonet's famous recording sessions. After playing with the big bands of Charlie Ventura and Benny Goodman, he formed a quintet with J.J. Johnson (1954-1956); the two trombonists (who sounded nearly identical at the time) had occasional reunions after going their separate ways. Winding led a four-trombone septet off and on through the latter half of the 1950s and into the '60s, was music director for the Playboy clubs in New York, and during 1971-1972 worked with the Giants of Jazz (an all-star group with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, and Thelonious Monk). Although he recorded frequently both as a leader and a sideman throughout his career, most of Winding's sessions are not currently available on CD.
