Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Trumpet [Pocket] – Ted Curson; Piano – Jim McNeely; Bass – Cecil McBee; Drums – Steve McCall.
Ted Curson, a trumpet player of renowned ability and taste, is well showcased in this excellent mid seventies session produced by the renowned Masahiko Yuh. His aptly chosen companions Jim McNeely, Cecil McBee and Steve McCall all contribute strongly to the collection of Curson originals and standards. Curson will always be remembered for his close association with Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy and Dannie Richmond. Ted also spent time with Max Roach and co-led a band with saxophonist Bill Barron which during one of Cursons frequent excursions to Europe, recorded his moving piece Tears for Dolphy in Paris. Ted's versaltility is evident throughout, not more so than on the extended version of Blue Piccolo, where he utilises the seldom heard 'pocket trumpet'.
