Stonebone is an album by jazz trombonists Kai Winding and J. J. Johnson featuring performances recorded in 1969 and released by CTI only in Japan.[1]
Album subsequently issued in 2020 for the October 24th Record Store Day. It was a red vinyl pressing for Europe and US distribution[2] . Re-issue contains the same track listing, durations cover art, but with only English language sleeve notes etc.[3]
The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "It is a prototype of the CTI formula of the '70s, allowing first-class jazz musicians to groove at length with minimal shaping on the production end to give these tracks drama".[4]
