Kai Winding - Dirty Dog (1966) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip [original mono Verve LP]

Never released on CD as far as I can tell. Anything with 4 trombone players must be good. Great set of funky, groove oriented jazz, not too unlike Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" (which is covered here). Nice version of Herbie's classic "Cantaloupe Island". The title track is a real floor shaker. These tunes were probably played a lot at Hugh Heffner's NY Playboy Club, where Kai was the musical director.
