Kai Winding • Solo

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Trombonist Kai Winding is not here featured on unaccompanied solos despite the title of this album, but it does showcase his horn without the usual three or four trombones that he regularly used during the period. With support from pianist Ross Tompkins, bassist Russell George, either Gus Johnson or Tommy Check on drums and guitarist Dick Garcia (on three of the 11 selections), this is one of Winding's best (and least commercial) recordings of the 1960s. The performances are concise (none exceed four minutes) and are highlighted by "How Are Things in Glocca Morro," "The Things We Did Last Summer" and "You've Changed."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El trombonista Kai Winding no aparece aquí en los solos sin acompañamiento a pesar del título de este álbum, pero muestra su trompa sin los habituales tres o cuatro trombones que utilizaba regularmente durante el período. Con el apoyo del pianista Ross Tompkins, el bajista Russell George, Gus Johnson o Tommy Check en la batería y el guitarrista Dick García (en tres de las 11 selecciones), esta es una de las mejores (y menos comerciales) grabaciones de Winding de los años 60. Las interpretaciones son concisas (ninguna supera los cuatro minutos) y destacan "How Are Things in Glocca Morro", "The Things We Did Last Summer" y "You've Changed".
