The recordings compiled on this CD are all in their way bebop gems, for Kai surrounded himself with the best of the rising modern young musicians of the time, and the tracks with Mulligan, Moore and Wallington are outstanding. The front line has a delightful deep sound to it, and the intuitive interplay between the musicians is impressive. Moore's warm sound nicely offsets Kai's bite, while Mulligan brings a whole new concept to the baritone saxophone. (Gerry's arrengements of 'Sleepy Bop' and 'Crossing the Channel' serve notice on the sounds of his own quartet and those of the Miles Davis groups that were still to come). And it would be nice to think that Modest Mussorgsky himself would have dug Kai's 'Night on Bop Mountain', for it really is a model of its kind. Warne Marsh was never less than unique and he makes meaningful statements on the tracks where he is featured. Singer Melvin Moore certainly has a very pleasant voice, and one wonders what became of him. The rhythm sections on display cannot be faulted, but it is the leader himself, kai winding, whose pungent trombone stays longest in the memory after listening again to these classic bebop recordings. ~ Mike Baillie
