Curtis Fuller, a Powerful Voice on Jazz Trombone, Dies at 88 - The New York Times

 
​We all have songs we can point to that shaped our taste in music.  One of mine is Coltrane's Blue Train.
At the time (1958) he was playing in the Thelonius Monk Quartet at the Five Spot on 8th Street.​ Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Studio on Prospect Avenue in Hackensack, NJ, it features Coltrane (tenor sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).
We have now lost the only survivor of that momentous quintet. - GWC
