Kai Winding - Esto es Felicidad (Let's Do It) (track)


Esto es Felicidad (Let's Do It) by trombonist Kai Winding (1922-1983) is taken from a 1962 MGM LP, Anatomy of Dancing: The Latin Mood. Anatomy of Dancing was sold as a three-album set, although the LPs also appeared to have been marketed individually.

Winding contributed two tracks to The Latin Mood, with the rest by Charles Foxx and his orchestra. Esto es Felicidad first appeared on the trombonist's 1961 Verve LP Kai Ole. Verve was then owned by MGM.


Winding was very much in a pop-jazz mode on many of his Verve recordings and had a sizeable hit with More, the theme from the film Mondo Cane.

Here's that tune from The Latin Mood.

None of the contents of Kai Ole or Anatomy of Dancing: The Latin Mood appear to have made the transition to a digital format, so grab the sample track.
