Biography:
Kai Chresten Winding (May 18, 1922–May 6, 1983) was a popular Danish born American trombonist and jazz composer. He is well known for a successful collaboration with fellow trombonist J. J. Johnson.
Winding was born in Aarhus, Denmark. In 1934 his family immigrated to the United States. He graduated in 1940 from Stuyvesant High School in New York City. His career as a professional trombonist began in 1940 with Shorty Allen\’s band. Subsequently, he played with Sonny Dunham and Alvino Rey, until he entered the United States Coast Guard during World War II.
After the war, Winding joined Benny Goodman\’s band, and later moved on to Stan Kenton\’s orchestra. Winding participated in the first of the Birth of the Cool sessions in 1949, appearing on 4 of the 12 tracks (while Johnson appears on the other eight, having participated on the other two sessions). In 1954, at the urging of producer Ozzie Cadena, he joined forces with Johnson to produce a highly successful series of trombone duet recordings, which were initially on Savoy Records and then on the Columbia Records label. While at Columbia, Kai experimented with different instrumentation in brass ensembles and also used a trombonium on at least one album that featured a trombone octet. Winding also arranged and/or composed many of the tracks he and Johnson recorded.

''The Herbie Hancock Box'' Compilation Box Set

Andy's Note:

Here's my last box set post of this trip home,back to Australia next week.
However I will be back with more goodies soon.

Once again links in comments.

Info:
Box set, Original recording remastered
Label: Sony
Release date: (September 14, 2004)

Review by C. Andrew Hovan:
While some might disagree, arguably pianist Herbie Hancock’s most memorable performances on tape would have to include his own Blue Note sessions and sideman appearances with Miles Davis. That is not to say that he’s done nothing of significance since the ‘60s, but for sheer mainstream brilliance nothing really comes close to Maiden Voyage or such Miles albums as Miles Smiles and E.S.P. Now for the first time, Hancock’s post Blue Note/post Miles work is the subject of an intensive retrospective that spans 13 years and samples music from 23 different albums recorded during Hancock’s tenure with Columbia Records.

Probably the most sensationalistic aspect of The Herbie Hancock Box is in the presentation. Literally housed in a clear Plexiglas box, each of four discs slides into grooves along the box’s sides, as does the accompanying booklet. The box I received as a review copy was pretty well marked and scratched due to the fact that the discs and booklet had come from their tracks and looked like they had been tossed around in shipping. As such, it might be wise to carefully examine the box before purchase to make sure everything’s intact.

The entire first and second discs are devoted to acoustic material, much of it featuring the VSOP line-up of Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. A good many of the performances have only been available in Japanese issues over the years and their appearance here is of note. The only thing one has to wonder is how essential these versions of such old favorites as “Maiden Voyage,” “The Sorcerer,” “Dolphin Dance” and “Eye of the Hurricane” are when the original incarnations are still available and often superior. Considering that Hancock and crew were former students of Miles Davis and that the Prince of Darkness himself was creating music far from the mainstream manifesto during the same period, the retro feel that dominates seems at odds with the Master’s teachings.

Disc three kicks in with a flowering of electronics and commercial sensibilities, although “Rain Dance” (from Sextant ) is an odd bit of dated material that almost sounds like the accompanying soundtrack to an episode of The Outer Limits. Also showing its age just a bit, the main theme from Hancock’s soundtrack music for Death Wish somehow gets one’s attention and whets the appetite for more, like a reissue of the entire album. In a bit of irreverent splicing, the pots fade up for a blistering and satisfying take on “Actual Proof” from the live Japanese session Flood, another album that sinfully remains out-of-print.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, the remainder of disc three and about half of disc four features Hancock’s commercial pratfalls from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Banal vocals on “Come Running to Me” and “Stars in Your Eyes” don’t even come close to being attractive pop hooks and they sure don’t funk out like Sly, The Meters, or Maceo Parker. Like his fellow Columbia label mate Freddie Hubbard, Hancock was stretching for something different and more often than not he missed. The remainder of disc four somewhat makes up for things in that “Rockit” and “Karabali” testify to the redeeming nature of Bill Laswell’s production values and the sense that Hancock had finally found his voice again amidst his electronic battery.

In the end, The Herbie Hancock Box brings to light some rare sides, a previously unissued performance of “Red Clay,” and a thorough re-examination of Hancock in the throws of some changing times. Completists will find it all well worth their time and investment, but those with only a marginal interest in Hancock’s later works would probably do better by picking up Headhunters or Future Shock.

The Herbie Hancock Box [Columbia] Review:
Solo whizzes like Michael Manring and Rob Wasserman aside, the most inspirational bassists usually share sonic space with great drummers, guitarists, horn players, keyboardists, or orchestras, whose talent and artistry help push our heroes to even greater heights. This undeniable fact is why the recent release of The Herbie Hancock Box is cause for celebration. No contemporary jazz artist has so consistently embraced the progressive nature of the genre, cutting a wide swath through every musical development of the late 20th century, and in the process employing and inspiring several of the world’s best bassists. The collection’s four discs are organized around major periods of Hancock’s unpredictable musical evolution. Discs one and two focus on his late-’70s acoustic material, particularly his super group VSOP with Ron Carter on bass. VSOP picked up where Miles Davis’s groundbreaking mid-’60s quintet left off; urbane harmony, loose structure, and muscular improvisation are the band’s trademarks. Carter is flat-out incredible; his near-supernatural chops, potent tone, and incredible sensitivity set a standard rarely matched to this day. Disc three is Paul Jackson’s realm. As a member of the Headhunters, Jackson was the fingerstyle-funk man. The greasy, probing lines he poured forth are best described by Hancock in the liner notes: “Paul Jackson is a genius. He always blew my mind.” CD three also features a lone Jaco Pastorius track, 1980’s “4 a.m.” It’s classic Pastorius, with his usual jaw-dropping 16thnote funk and deftly integrated harmonics. Disc four explores Hancock’s controversial forays into R&B, disco, and hip-hop. The annoyingly catchy “Rockit,” with Bill Laswell on bass, is a highlight, as is “Maiden Voyage/P. Bop,” featuring the one and only Bootsy Collins.
By Jonathan Herrera

From Amazon (Review):
Since the 1960s, Herbie Hancock has been one of the major figures in contemporary jazz, even if his restless creative muse sometimes confounded his longtime trad-jazz followers at the same time it was winning him fans from other genres. The first half of this four-disc, 34-track career retrospective leans heavily on Hancock's musical foundations, as distilled through acoustic performances from the late '70s and early '80s (most of which have heretofore only been issued in Japan), many with his former Miles Davis Quintet sidemen-cum-jazz supergroup, V.S.O.P. (including Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Freddie Hubbard). Those performances (including the unissued Hubbard showcase "Red Clay") lay the groundwork the remainder of the anthology builds on, with Hancock's Fender Rhodes and synths surveying a rich landscape that spans a reinvented "Watermelon Man," the electro-funk workout "Chameleon," jazz-rock fusion, soul, world beat, and, of course, Hancock's most unlikely success, the 1983 hip-hop/industrial megahit "Rockit." Nods are also given to his intermittent film work, via the cool sophistication of his Death Wish title cut and his Academy Award-winning interpretation of Monk's "'Round Midnight." The packaging is nearly as innovative as Hancock's music: a transparent plastic cube with the discs and booklet (featuring insightful notes penned by Hancock himself) suspended within.

Joe Henderson ''The Blue Note Years'' (4 CDs Box Set)

Joe Henderson

''The Blue Note Years'' (4 CDs Box Set)

Review by Scott Yanow (AMG):
Unlike many other box sets currently available, this four-CD package is actually a sampler taken from Joe Henderson's many recordings for Blue Note; all but three selections date from 1963-69. Out of the 36 selections, 26 feature the great tenor as a sideman and some are from sessions not reissued in quite awhile. Henderson is instantly recognizable (his distinctive tone has not changed much since 1963) and an asset to each of these performances. Also included in the box is a very attractive 40-page booklet that is highlighted by his complete Blue Note discography. This set is particularly recommended to listeners only vaugely aware of Joe Henderson's powerful music.

Compilation: ''Passions Of A Man'' Charles Mingus 6 CDs Disc Set

Compilation:
''Passions Of A Man'' Charles Mingus 6 CDs Disc Set

PASSIONS OF A MAN includes every album Mingus made during his first tenure at Atlantic Records. These recordings include PITHECANTHROPUS ERECTUS, THE CLOWN, BLUES AND ROOTS, MINGUS AT ANTIBES, OH YEAH and TONIGHT AT NOON, a compilation of 1957 and 1961 sessions making its first CD appearance. Of the 6 disc set, the last disc is a 75-minute interview with producer Nesuhi Ertegun.

These are the complete Atlantic recordings of Charles Mingus from 1956-1961. He was with the label again for a second period from '73 until his death in '79; this set focuses solely on his groundbreaking first tenure. The resulting six CDs are a powerful portrait of a man taking in the world around him and turning it into compositions of timeless beauty, focused anger, quiet redemption, sad observations, and boundless hope.

Rooted in blues, gospel, Afro-American folk idioms, Dixieland, bop, and even modernist classical landscapes, Mingus was never short of confidence in and commitment to his vision. That he surrounded himself with such a gallery of monumental and innovative players is a testament both to his good taste and their desire to be a part of something this big and this perfect. Among others, his soloists include Bud Powell, Eric Dolphy, Roland Kirk, Jackie McLean, Pepper Adams, John Handy, and Mal Waldron. This is a colossal document, beautifully annotated and packaged, and a cornerstone of any jazz library.

Complete Atlantic Recordings 1956-1961

Recorded at Audio-Video Studios and Atlantic Studios, New York, New York; live at Nesuhi Ertugun's offices, New York, New York and at the Antibes Jazz Festival, Juan-les-Pins, France between 1956 and 1961. Includes liner notes by Andrew Homzy, Stefano Zenni, Joel Dorn, Tom Dowd, Sue Mingus.

Full Title: Passions Of A Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1956-1961).

Personnel: Charles Mingus (vocals, bass); Jean Shepherd (spoken vocals); Jackie McLean, John Handy (alto saxophone); Shafi Hadi (alto & tenor saxophones); Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone, bass clarinet); J.R. Monterose, Booker Ervin (tenor saxophone); Roland Kirk (tenor saxophone, flute, manzello, stritch, siren); Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone); Ted Curson (trumpet); Jimmy Knepper, Willie Dennis (trombone); Teddy Charles (vibraphone); Mal Waldron, Hall Overton, Horace Parlan, Bud Powell, Wade Legge (piano); Doug Watkins (bass); Willie Jones, Ed Shaughnessy, Dannie Richmond (drums).

Producers include: Nesuhi Ertegun.

Reissue producers include: Patrick Milligan.

Engineers include: Tom Dowd, Hal Lustig, Bob Doherty, Larry Hiller, Phil Iehle.

PASSIONS OF A MAN: THE COMPLETE ATLANTIC RECORDINGS 1956-1961 was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.Spin (1/98, p.88) - Ranked #8 on Spin's list of the "Top 10 Reissues."
Spin (1/98, p.112) - 9 (out of 10) - "...PASSIONS OF A MAN documents the moment when his whole conception came together--the avant-garde's expressive squawk and squeal, the virtuosity of the bop soloists who peopled whi bands, the raggedness of country blues, and the melodic and orchestral achievements of Ellington, his hero..."
Entertainment Weekly (12/12/97, p.88) - "...PASSION contains plenty of the lyricism, experimentalism, and hollering genius that made Mingus such a unique figure. Like the best such collections, it leaves listeners not overfed but hungry for more." - Rating: A
Down Beat (12/97, p.95) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...one can hear the mature Mingus driving various classic bands....the music on these records has been the object of constant analysis, review, critique and ponderment since it was waxed....it is a package absolutely packed with brilliant music..."
Vibe (12/97-1/98, p.172) - "...Mingus did work on his instrument that won't be duplicated until humans grow six extra fingers. PASSIONS OF A MAN is a splendid musical civics lesson..."
Musician (4/98, p.90) - "...a staggering array of saxophonists playing music that never, ever sounded like it was composed, orchestrated, and stomped upon by anybody but Mingus....As history, this is invaluable stuff....music like this can never lose its power or its passion."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.96) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Besides oodles of great music, there's a CD devoted to a recorded interview with Mingus. Fascinating stuff."

Smaller in trim size, greatly expanded in content, this compendium of Chronicle’s classic Blue Note books (50,000 copies sold) is now an appealingly chunky paperback. Blue Note remains one of the most influential jazz labels of all time, and its cover art is a virtual time-capsule of cool. Now comprehensive, Blue Note: Album Cover Art gathers nearly 400 of the legendary covers, spanning the ’40s to the ’70s, and features the greatest work of legendary Blue Note art director Reid Miles. Simple and sophisticated, moody and alluring, these covers continue to influence designers and excite jazz aficionados today. "One glance," as Esquire said of the original edition, "and you’ll know where the essence of cool remains."
