		Fuller was at the time in the Count Basie band, Basie's name and that of Ella Fitzgerald having drawn the large concert hall audience.

		The timeless Curtis Fuller has been a brand name trombone player for about 50 years now and heâs never sounded better than he does on his two new releases, Up Jumped Spring and Keep It Simple, which will enhance his standing as one of the bright and enduring stars in the jazz firmament.

		Fuller lays out on âDianeâ, Jacksonâs original ballad, which he and the rhythm section play with warmth, tenderness and a bit of dramatic tension.

	Curtis Fuller : The Curtis Fuller Jazztet - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Like the other Savoy recordings of Curtis Fuller, The Curtis Fuller Jazztet is a relaxed hard bop set featuring many of the young stars of the day.
		Even though the compositions may not be as strong as those on Blues-ette (and how could they be?), there are a number of highly engaging solos by all and perhaps a bit more diversity with regard to both tempo and arrangement.
		Where Blues-ette's sublime grace stems from the collective understanding displayed by the group, the greatness of The Curtis Fuller Jazztet is to be found in the individual talents of the soloists.
