Album Notes
Curtis Fuller Sextette: Curtis Fuller (trombone); Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Thad Jones (trumpet); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (bass); Dave Bailey (drums).Recorded on December 17, 1959. Includes liner notes by Jack McKinney.Personnel: Curtis Fuller (trombone); Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Thad Jones (trumpet); McCoy Tyner (piano); Dave Bailey (drums).Liner Note Author: Jack McKinney.Recording information: 12/17/1959.Unknown Contributor Role: Herman Lubinsky.Prior to the official formation of the Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer, trombonist Curtis Fuller and tenorman Benny Golson made several albums together, usually with other trumpeters. This somewhat rare date has trumpeter Thad Jones, bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Dave Bailey, and, most significantly, pianist McCoy Tyner in his recording debut completing the sextet. Fuller arranged all five of the songs, four of which were his originals. Although the material (other than the lone standard "Imagination") is unfamiliar, the chord changes inspire the players to create some fine solos. Easily recommended to hard bop fans lucky enough to find this album. ~ Scott Yanow
