Up Jumped Spring album Product Description

Up Jumped Spring album by Curtis Fuller was released Mar 16, 2004 on the Delmark label. Over the years, Curtis Fuller has recorded the majority of his albums in New York City. But when the veteran trombonist visited Chicago for the Chicago Jazz Festival in 2003, he joined forces with several Windy City musicians (including Karl Montzka on piano, Larry Gray or Stewart Miller on bass, and Tim Davis on drums) and recorded Up Jumped Spring for Bob Koester's Chicago-based Delmark label. Trumpeter Brad Goode (who was a fixture on the Chi-Town jazz scene before moving to Cincinnati in 1997) is also on board, as is singer Jacey Falk (who produced the album). Fuller (who was 68 when he recorded Up Jumped Spring) was one of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in his younger days, and not surprisingly, a strong Jazz Messengers influence asserts itself on these hard bop and post-bop performances -- the Jazz Messengers influence is impossible to miss on hard-swinging performances of John Coltrane's "Equinox" and Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island," as well as Duke Ellington's "In a Mellow Tone" and Benny Golson's "Whisper Not." Goode, thankfully, is featured extensively, and Falk (a promising jazz singer with a strong R&B influence) has a memorable spot on Jessie Mae Robinson's "Black Night" (the only vocal offering on this mostly instrumental disc). ...See Full Description

The great Curtis Fuller still has it.
Is great to know that one of the great trombone players returned to the jazz scene to play this great music. Mr. Curtis still has that beautiful tone and command of the trombone. It was great to listen Mr. Fuller play with a new generation great talent like Brad Goode, wao, this guy can play that trumpet. Great combination!
