· All the tracks on this 3CD set of the J.J. Johnson & Kai Winding All Stars on their 1958 European Tour are previously unissued in any format. The tour was billed as “Jazz from Carnegie Hall”.

· The two masters of bop trombone - with a truly all-star band : Lee Konitz, Zoot Sims, Phineas Newborn Jr., Red Garland, Oscar Pettiford & Kenny Clarke - are featured in concert in : Stockholm, Berlin, Munich & the Free Trade Hall, Manchester.

· 38 tracks and more than three hours of never before heard music - including an equally rare bonus track of Sims, Newborn, Pettiford and Clarke only - at Domicile Club, Munich, October 3, 1958.

· The atypical, band-leading partnership between trombonists Kai Winding and J.J. Johnson was at the peak of its fame at the time the band left for this European tour – with both musicians also very successful in their own right.

· Although 8 musicians are featured here, they never perform as an octet on these recordings but took turns in different small group formations, creating cool and intimate atmospheres.
