About this album

Blues-ette is a sharp, lyrical hard bop date that helped establish Curtis Fuller as one of jazz’s great trombonists. Recorded in 1959, it pairs Fuller’s warm, flexible tone with a tightly focused quintet and a set of concise, swinging performances that balance blues feeling with sophisticated modern harmony. The title track became especially admired for its memorable melody and relaxed drive, while the album as a whole reflects the Bop and Hard Bop momentum of the late 1950s. Elegant, accessible and deeply musical, it remains one of Fuller’s best-known statements.
