A series of pieces played very well,
characterized by a marked swing and with
solos that transmit to the ear the joy felt
by the musicians in performing them. An
album of pure fun, impeccable in execution,
full of dizzying and spectacular phrasing,
impressive in the speed with which Winding
and Piana intertwine their sounds in elaborate
counterpoints.
Winding loved Duo “Bones” and proved
it with facts. A few months after recording
the album, the trombonist was back in the
Capital for a television concert with the RAI
Orchestra of Rome at Hall B. In front of the
audience Winding proudly remembered having
recorded that album a few months earlier. He
invited Piana to get up from the ranks of the
orchestra and together with him he performed
an acclaimed big band arrangement of Duo
“Bones”
