さて、いよいよ議論の的になった『Lady in Satin』からの一曲です。このアルバムはこれまでの彼女の人生と彼女の唄との関係を深く知れば知る程、感銘を与えるものとなっています。ただこの録音のディレク ターでもあるレイ・エリスは「たった一つのフレーズを歌うだけででも、彼女は音程を維持できなかった。 私は今でも、このアルバムを聴くたびに悲しくてやりきれないんだ」とも語っています。

These recordings were made in Guam at an Armed Forces Services Concert, when the McGhee’s group was touring Korean and other U. S. Pacific bases in 1951.

By the way Creed Taylor spent one year at the forefront of the battlefield of the Korean War.
Below I quated JazzWax. Interview: Creed Taylor (Part 1)
Creed Taylor:I spent a year in combat. For a time I was a forward observer. I worked with a map that had quadrants of the terrain out front. When I saw lights on a convoy traveling through no-man’s land, my job was to call them back to the 105mm Artillery, which opened up on the lights. We were under the auspices of the UN. I was there until the truce was announced in September 1953, exactly two years after I was drafted.
Kai Winding participated in some early bebop sessions such as Tadd Dameron’s recordings,and also recorded his leader sessions.
Today I will introduce his leader’s recordings from in 1946 to in 1953.
In January 1946 Kai and Stan Getz had recordings on Savoy label as “Kai’s Krazy Kats”.

Recently these recordings reissued by Mosaic label as “Classic Savoy Be-Bop Sessions 1945-49.”
In April 1949 Kai and Gerry Mulligan with George Wallington recorded four tunes on Roost label.
They adopted “Wallington’s Godchild” by George Wallington.

It was first performed by Miles Davis and His Orchestra in 1948 and was recorded “Birth of the Cool” by Miles Davis.
In May 1951 Kai and Brew Moore recorded again at Roost label.
We can hear these four tunes on Youtube,which are added previous Roost recordings(1949).
In March 1952 Kai recorded again four tunes at Savoy label.

In 1949, he became a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s sextet and big band.
In those days Heath’s alto saxophone style was so reminiscent of Charlie Parker.
So it earned him the nickname “Little Bird.”
When he left Dizzy’s band, he switched to tenor saxophone.
While he was Dizzy’s bands ,he decided to be a an arranger and composer.
He learned modern voicings on the piano by Dizzy.
Dizzy was showing him something new rhythmically or harmonically on the piano.
