5 out of 5 stars Great Bone.......2004-03-31

If J.J. Johnson was the Charlie Parker of the trombone, then Curtis Fuller was the instrument's Sonny Rollins. Throughout the 50s Fuller made excellent albums for both Savoy and Blue Note, and then in the 60s he joined the Jazz Messengers helping to make the classics "Mosaic" and "Free for All." And here's an interesting factoid, Fuller was also the only trombonist to ever play with Bud Powell and John Coltrane. But let's focus on the album at hand, the magnificent "Blues-ette." The album boasts a classic roster with Benny Golson on tenor, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Al Harewood on drums. Golson and Fuller each contribute two compostions, and two of these tunes are basically jazz standards today -- Fuller's title track and Golson's "Minor Vamp." With all of Fuller's Blue Note and United Artists albums not available as individual domestic CDs (they are/were all available as a limited edition box set on the Mosaic label too), this Savoy title becomes all the more essential.
