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!"
