Kai-jj.JPG

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...."

Special Note:  Received in email from album & 45 rpm producer of "More" Creed Taylor, himself:

"Here is a brief note on More (Theme From Mondo Cane) [performed] by Kai:  I had just seen and heard Mondo Cane, in which the song "More" was repeated in at least 10 different ways.  On my way back to my office at Verve, I passed a man-hole where workers were playing a fast instrumental by "The Ventures"... not unlike the style that what was to become the song on Kai's record.  I had at least 3 different versions of the song on my desk.  "More" hadn't become a hit.  All three versions had one thing in common.  They were all ballads.  I asked Claus to come by my office to discuss Kai's upcoming date.  I put Tony's 45 rpm on my turntable and switched to 78 rpm.  Next...'Claus, what do you think?'  The rest of the story is obvious!"
