Curtis Fuller And Hampton Hawes – A-Drift

Curtis Fuller And Hampton Hawes – Roc And Troll

From “Curtis Fuller and Hampton Hawes with French Horns“  :  1957  :  Status Records ST 8305

This is a fantastic album that for some reason remains obscure (and currently out-of-print) despite the talented players involved.  Curtis Fuller and Hampton Hawes are joined by two of the top jazz French Horn players (Julius Watkins and David Amram) for a great session that falls somewhere between cool jazz and hard bop.

Players:
Curtis Fuller – Trombone
Hampton Hawes – Piano
Julius Watkins – French Horn
David Amram – French Horn
Sahib Shihab – Alto Sax
Addison Farmer – Bass
Jerry Segal – Drums
