(199_).[CD digitally mastered reissue]
Features Kai Winding, trombone, on material
originally recorded in 1946 and 1947.
From the liner notes of the album:
"Loverman is Kai Winding's feature. Kai was Kenton's lead trombonist in 1946/47. the freedom that Kenton allowed him is not wasted, judged by his awesome solo here. . . . Rhythm Incorporated also known as Capitol Punishment swings throughout and is one of the most forthright, exciting scores the Kenton band ever laid down. Stan Kenton, Boots Mussulli, Kai Winding, Skip Layton, Buddy Childers and Eddie Safranski solo.. . .Collaboration, which lovely melody opens with Stan Kenton after which Kai Winding brings it home.
Mochito is Pete Rugolo's tribute to the
Cuban bandleader. One of the earliest examples of Afro-Cuban jazz, it
launches inspired solos by Stan Kenton, Kai Winding, Chico Alvarez,
Buddy Childers and Skip Layton. Lover was used as an
up-tempo concert opener in 1947. Rugolo's upbeat and frenetic chart
sets off Stan Kenton, Eddie Safranski, Vido Musso and Kai
Winding."
