Curtis Fuller - The Opener

Review by Saiful Nizam

The Opener, an album by Curtis Fuller, is a musical masterpiece that showcases the exceptional talent of the trombonist. The album features a collection of tracks that are a blend of bebop and hard bop styles, infused with Fuller's unique style and creativity.

The album's opening track, "A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its smooth and mellow melody. The album's title track, "The Opener," is a fast-paced, energetic tune that features Fuller's impressive soloing skills.

Fuller's bandmates on the album, including Hank Mobley on saxophone and Art Farmer on trumpet, complement his playing perfectly. Their chemistry is evident throughout the album, and they create a cohesive sound that is both dynamic and engaging.
