Sowing Records / Europe / RE 2026 / 12", Clear
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. Clear vinyl.
