One of the hippest Curtis Fuller albums for Blue Note and one of the rarest too a set that was recorded in 1958, but only ever issued on vinyl in this rare Japanese pressing from the 80s! The date's quite unique as it features "two bones", that is, two trombonists both Curtis Fuller and Slide Hampton, the latter of whom makes a rare Blue Note appearance with a hard, heavy, soulful groove. Rhythm is from the trio of Sonny Clark on piano, George Tucker on bass, and Al Harewood on drums and the quality of the record is all super-high another one of those Blue Note mysteries as to why the label never issued the set at the time. Titles include "Pajama Tops", "Fuss Budget", "Oatmeal Cookie", "Da-Baby", and "Loquacious Lady". (SHMCD pressing.) © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/700816
