Kai-jj-2.JPG
". . . I have very fond & vivid recall of the "J and K" cycle. Kai was a super Jazz trombonist/improviser who performed always with wit, killer chops, quasi-reckless abandon, yet with very intelligent sophistication. He was a complete musician, total artist, plus a fun, fun dude to be with or work with."--J.J. Johnson

Above photo: Kai and J.J. Johnson in one of their many sessions together.
