The record
Four trombones stacked into a septet front line -- a rich, brassy alternative to the usual sax-led date, with Winding leading Fontana, Lieb, and Andre through charts built for blend and weight. Cut for Columbia in '56, it's a showcase for the low-brass sound Winding championed throughout the decade.
