Disc 1: Studio
Disc 2: Live
Legendary jazz trombonist Curtis Fuller's newest recording I Will Tell Her is a tribute to his wife of over 30 years. The sextet includes saxophonist Keith Oxman whom Fuller compares to the late great John Coltrane. Fuller has been working with this group for the last 5 years, which is evident in the tightness of their playing. This double CD features the sextet in both live and studio settings masterfully playing Fuller's original music. The title track, a beautiful ballad, has never been recorded before now.

Through his long and storied career as one of the premier jazz trombonists, Curtis Fuller has been with all-star bands of different sizes and stripes. This sextet of friends from Denver, CO, gives Fuller plenty of firepower to swing mightily on some of his most famous compositions, documented on a double-CD set, one done in the studio, the other in live concert performance. With saxophonist Keith Oxman and trumpeter Al Hood (both well represented with fine recordings on their own as leaders), Fuller plays in the spirit of his former boss Art Blakey with a group sound similar to the Jazz Messengers. His tone is pretty strong, and does not have to push so hard alongside Oxman and Hood on such classic hard bop numbers as "Time Off," Kenny Dorham's "Minor's Holiday," "The Clan," and the all-time favorite "Alamode." Pianist Chip Stephens (ex-Ernie Krivda) plays in unison for another piece, the modal "Maze," which has stood the test of time. The live side showcases two drawn-out versions of studio sessions, additional material, and a warm-up version of "Tenor Madness" where the horns test each other's prowess. Overall, this is one of the better recordings in the latter-period days of Fuller, chock-full of spirit, and comes easily recommended. ~ Michael G. Nastos, Rovi

Curtis Fuller belongs in the select circle with J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding, and a few others who make the trombone sound fluid and inviting rather than awkward. His ability to make wide-octave leaps and play whiplash phrases in a relaxed, casual manner is a testament to his skill. Fuller's solos and phrases are often ambitious and creative, and he's worked in several fine bands and participated in numerous great sessions. Fuller studied music in high school, then began developing his skills in an Army band, where he played with Cannonball Adderley. He worked in Detroit with Kenny Burrell and Yusef Lateef, then moved to New York. Fuller made his recording debut as a leader on Transition in 1955, and recorded in the late '50s for Blue Note, Prestige, United Artists, and Savoy. He was a charter member of the Jazztet with Benny Golson and Art Farmer in 1959, then played in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers from 1961 to 1965. There were additional recording dates for Warwick, Smash/Trip, Epic, and Impulse! in the '60s. Fuller toured Europe with Dizzy Gillespie's big band in 1968, then did several sessions in New York. During the '70s, he experimented for a time playing hard bop arrangements in a band featuring electronic instruments, heading a group with guitarist Bill Washer and Stanley Clarke. He concluded that phase with the 1973 album Crankin'. Fuller toured with the Count Basie band from 1975 to 1977, and did dates for Mainstream, Timeless, and Bee Hive. He co-led the quintet Giant Bones with Winding in 1979 and 1980, and played with Art Blakey, Cedar Walton, and Benny Golson in the late '70s and early '80s. During the '80s, Fuller toured Europe regularly with the Timeless All-Stars, and performed and recorded with the revamped Jazztet in addition to leading a fine session for Savoy in 1993.
