The complete LP "Jay & Kai" (1956) one of the best albums by the Johnson-Winding Quintet. Included as a bonus, are six rare tracks: three concert performances by Jay & Kai at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival, and three studio recordings presenting both trombonists as part of groups conducted by Quincy Jones, one of them taken from a long unavailable compilation LP titled "The Giants Of Jazz".
A frontline of two trombones was an atypical combination for jazz prior to these groundbreaking collaborations by Jay Jay Johnson (the first and primary exponent of bebop on his instrument) and Danish-born Kai Winding (a brilliant trombonist in his own right).
The original LP "Jay & Kai", presented here, included two complete sessions by the tandem plus a couple of tunes taken from different sessions: "I Should Care" was recorded for a quintet session with J.J. and Bobby Jaspar, which belongs to the sessions that produced the LP "J Is for Jazz", while "Yes, You" was recorded by the Kai Winding Septet (without J.J.) for the session that produced the LP "Trombone Panorama".
Recorded in a single session, this edition of the J.J. Johnson/Kai Winding group -- otherwise known as the Jay and Kai Quintet -- was caught on a rare 10" Columbia LP, eventually finding its way into a Mosaic boxed set. In general, Johnson's trombone is heavier in texture and more commanding than the lighter-colored tone of Winding, though the issue is sometimes minimized when one or both use mutes. The capable rhythm section features Dick Katz on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Shadow Wilson on drums, with the mildly latin "Caribe" adding the congas and bongos of Candido Camero. "The Song Is You" is the most energetic cut, taking off at a fast bop clip with Johnson taking more imaginative flights in his solo. But the only real surprise on this record is the tick-tock opening and closing with chimes that lend a special ambience to -- of course -- "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning." Not a classic jazz set, but comfortable enough for the fans of the duo. ~ Richard Ginell, All Music Guide |
