AMG Review of Kai Winding, Jay Jay Johnson and Bennie Green with Strings
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideTwo unrelated session are combined on this CD reissue of an LP. Trombonist Bennie Green is heard on four allads from 1952 while backed by a rhythm section and six strings. However, the more significant selections are eight songs that for the first time matched together trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding in a quintet. The Johnson and Winding group would be quite popular during the next two years and, listening to the colorful and melodic versions of such tunes as "How Long Has This Been Going On," "Dinner for One," and "We'll Be Together Again," it is easy to see why.
