Kai and J.J. Johnson, the very famous trombone duo seen here in the mid-fifties.

Kai's quote, "When we had a session to do we'd divide the arrangement between us. At the end of that period, ...we made over a dozen LPs which have been reissued time and time again...At the end of that period we decided to go our own way for many reasons but always remained friends.

Nothing to do with conflict in our relationship. I decided to go with a multiple trombone group featuring four trombones...."

Webmaster's Note:  Side Two of the DJ/Promo version has a different tracklist than the original black Mono label above it; the DJ/Promo version includes "Slipping Around" which was left out of non-DJ/Promo copies and was substituted with "Dear Heart" instead.  V-DJ-10 shares the same Mono album cover as V-8602 (and is numbered as V-8602) with the exception of the "Designed for Programming" imprint on the back cover, upper right hand corner.  Also, on the DJ/Promo records on Side II, "Gotta Travel On" and "Dang Me" are reversed in playing order.




All V/V6-8602 copies of albums have the tracklist on the back cover as it appears on the DJ/Promo "Designed for Programming" labels and cover - instead of the way the tracklist actually appears on the V/V6-8602 labels.
