Artist:  Kai Winding

Title: The Great Kai Winding Sound

Date:  196?

Label: Columbia / Harmony Records   HL 7341

Cover Photo: Henry Parker

 Notes:  Purchased for the playful sixties cover photo this record opened my ears to Kai and his trombone. Smooth, jazzy and fun he can carry a tune with the best of them. I'm not sure if the musicians are part of his working band or belong to the studio, but they work here as a cohesive force to back Kai throughout his musical travels. And as mentioned before, the cover photo looks like it was a fun session for one and all.
