5 out of 5 stars TREMENDOUS TROMBONE SOUND FROM THE 50'S.......2007-03-22

J J JOHNSON AND KAI WINDING TAKE POP SONGS AND PLAY THEM FIRST AS WRITTEN THEN DO A JAZZED UP VERSION. THIS ALBUM(NOW A CD) WAS ONLY PRODUCED IN 54-55. IT WAS IMMENSELY POPULAR THEN. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY THEN WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, NEVER TO WORK TOGETHER AGAIN. TOO BAD.

5 out of 5 stars The Great Kai & J. J........2006-11-10

The Great Kai & J. J. work is one of the best works ever for jazz enthusiasts, specifically for trombone sound lovers. The clear and melodic playing of both musicians during their solo makes it some of the best study material for any trombone player.
For this session, standards such as "Georgia on my Mind" have been arranged magnificently without the songs losing their original bluesy feeling.

5 out of 5 stars They are the greatest.......2006-07-14

I was so happy to discover this re-mastered CD. I had the original on a vinyl disk, and literally wore it out. J.J. & Kai work so well together that one just has to sit back and either tap one's foot or sway with the sounds. The selection of music on this album just amplifies their talents, and those of the back-up musicians. Well worth the purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Trombone treats.......2006-03-16

The CD 'The great Kai and JJ is definitely worth including in the collection of those who are into jazz trombone. The variety of tracks enhances the listening enjoyment and the reproduction quality is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Oh My God.........they don't make music like these guys anymore........2005-11-20

I have a couple other CDs of the two of them but this is just fabulous!!! Can't believe I haven't heard it before. They also do a couple of numbers with "Dave Brubeck at Newport"........this is toooo much!!!
