Curtis Fuller has been a remarkable survivor, not to mention a consistent and versatile player throughout his entire career. His assured tone and intonation is equally capable of a burnished glow and flashy brilliance. Fuller has the capability to stay within his limits, managing to blend with his front line mates while contributing solos that could hold their own, even in the company of a John Coltrane.
Curtis Fuller was also the first trombonist to be a member of the Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet, later becoming the sixth man in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, probably best known today as the added third horn in Art Blakey’s 1961-64 edition of the Jazz Messengers (making the classics Mosaic and Free for All), or because of his essential contribution to John Coltrane’s Blue Train album. And here’s an interesting factoid, Fuller was also the only trombonist to ever play with Bud Powell and John Coltrane.
And Javon Jackson. Symbolizing a new generation of musicians that blended tradition with neo-jazz, Javon released 14 recordings as a band leader and tour and record over 135 CDs with jazz greats including Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Charlie Haden, Betty Carter, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter, Donald Byrd, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Richard Davis, Bobby Hutcherson, Curtis Fuller, JoAnne Brackeen, Stanley Turrentine, and Ben E. King.
In 1992 Jackson made his recording debut with Me and Mr. Jones, featuring James Williams, Christian McBride and master drummer and NEA Jazz Master Elvin Jones. Jackson also recorded six projects for Blue Note Records featuring collaborations with Betty Carter, Dianne Reeves, Cassandra Wilson, Kenny Garrett, Jacky Terrason, John Medeski and Vernon Reid.
Most currently, The Hartt School welcomed this acclaimed tenor saxophonist as Associate Professor of Jazz and Chair of the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz.
