EDITORIAL REVIEWS


TWO TROMBONES (DUO "BONES"), - KAI WINDING & DINO PIANA JUST NAILED A BREEZY, SWINGING SESSION YOU WILL WANT ON REPEAT.
Red Records, a prime example of how small, independent labels capitalize on unique opportunities, thrived due to its streamlined structure and emotionally driven decisions. Founded by promoter Alberto Alberti and jazz aficionado Sergio Veschi, the label built its reputation by capturing pivotal moments in Italian jazz and recording international artists like Sam Rivers, whose album The Quest became a classic. Their credibility and passion were key to earning artists' trust.
The album Duo "Bones", recorded on November 17, 1978, is a product of such seizing-the-moment intuition. Trombonists Kai Winding, a Danish-American on tour, and Dino Piana, an accomplished RAI Orchestra member, reunited in Rome after years apart. Their collaboration echoed Winding's earlier work with J.J. Johnson. The rhythm section--Enrico Pieranunzi on piano, Giovanni Tommaso on bass, and Tullio De Piscopo on drums--added youthful energy and groove to the session. Recorded at Emmequattro studio, the atmosphere was relaxed and spontaneous, leading to quick, joy-filled takes, mostly first attempts.
The album's tracklist blends classics with originals: Winding's "Duo 'Bones'," "Lady H," and "Stop Following Me"; Piana's "Kai and Dino"; Pieranunzi's "Soul Dance." The result is spirited jazz rich in swing, fast phrasing, and effortless counterpoints, delivering pure musical joy free of political overlays common at the time.
Winding's affection for the project was clear. Months later, during a televised concert in Rome with the RAI Orchestra, he proudly mentioned the album and performed a big band arrangement of "Duo 'Bones'" with Piana on stage--an enduring nod to their serendipitous session.
