First released on Prestige in 1957 New Trombone is Curtis Fuller's debut album. Back in the day, Fuller was a 23 years old Detroiter whose fluent style represented a new step in the trombone's evolution. Backed by a solid quintet featuring Sonny Red (alto sax), Hank Jones (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), and Louis Hayes (drums), Fuller opens up with a strong hard-bop album including three originals and a couple of standards. This is highly swinging Jazz based on group interlay and with deep roots in blues.

Reissue, originally released on Impulse! in 1962. Soul Trombone And The Jazz Clan was a major statement from one of the great trombone players in American jazz. Here, Curtis Fuller displays an outstanding hard-bop ensemble based on a bunch of great individuals all at the top of their game. Fuller himself is part of a super strong horn section with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, while the groove is assured by a hard swinging rhythm section with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Jimmie Merritt, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Fuller gives lots of space to his musicians who naturally respond and empathize with great solos. In one word: outstanding! Clear vinyl.
