Kai Winding - Loverman - Jazz Giants - Tivoli november 1971

[@clayjackson2833]

He and JJ were two of my heroes when I was in high school and college. I was a trombonist and just discovering jazz in the 1970's. Man, I miss those days.

[@nemo227]

When you're missing those days you've got to pick up the 'bone, a little oil on the slide, and close your eyes and just play for yourself for a half hour or an hour and a half. It will be your own special time travel machine.

[@josephbarbera9220]

I never get tired of the these great performance! Truly gems! Love live Kai and JJ!

[@michaelbarnes6274]

I saw him at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney in 1972, the Giants of Jazz tour, with Barney Kessel, Jim Hall and Sonny Stitt & the Preservation Hall Band. I still remember the details of that night almost half-century ago.

[@frankray2261]

My God in heaven have I just witnessed a beautiful rendition of the Charlie Parkers Loverman on trombone ???? I'm blown away !!!! The title says it all Jazz giants indeed.

[@Organwiz1]

What a inspiration to others. Both he and surprisingly...Bob Flannigan of the Four Freshmen inspired me to learn trombone many moons ago. Many years ago I transitioned to organ, but I have fond memories of both of these artists.

[@williamlrobinson6293]

I heard Kai play when he was with the Stan Kenton band. A great trombone musician!

[@williamharris1131]

What a cooking swinging chart with a tight knit band! WOW! It goes without saying that Kai is at his usual superlative quintessential awesomeness! HE is gone BUT HE will remain in our hearts and minds forever!

Excellent trombone solo! He was one of the all time best. (introduced by the great Sonny Stitt, wish he could have solo also on this )

[@ThomasDwyerCW]

It is sad the Kai Winding died at only 60 years old. His collaboration with JJ Johnson was the best.

que genialidad de trombonista!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Is this the tour where Monk didn't talk to Blakey because he thought he was too ugly? One of those legendary stories.

[@lacroixphilippe5433]

I saw him in this tour 1971 in Lyon, with Art Blakey and Gillespie. I did not know anything about trombone. He made love this instrument for ever. Gillespie was tremendous. Monk obviously did not feel like playing...

[@TheMikkelausen]

Yes. He didn’t talk at all except for two words or so because he thought Blakey and McKippon was too ugly. Gillespie was a little jealous during the tour because Monk received long ovations and really good reviews and Gillespie had proclaimed himself leader of the band even though there was not supposed to be one :D (I prefer Monk over Gillespie any day).
