The Swingin' States


The Swingin' States is an album by American jazz trombonist Kai Winding featuring performances recorded in 1958 for the Columbia label.

Reception

The Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars and stated "The gimmick of this out-of-print LP by trombonist Kai Winding is that all dozen songs have a state in their title... Winding and fellow trombonist Frank Rehak along with pianist Hank Jones split up all of the solo space on the spirited if somewhat lightweight music".
