When trombonist Curtis Fuller recorded ‘Soul Trombone’ ’61 and ‘Cabin In The Sky’ for Impulse!, he was a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. Fellow messengers, Cedar Walton and Freddie Hubbard contribute to ‘Soul Trombone’. The album includes the Hard Bop of ‘The Clan’ and the stomping Soul Jazz of ‘Newdles’. There is more of a modal vibe to ‘The Breeze And I’. ‘Cabin In The Sky’ features orchestrations arranged by Manny Albam. It is completely different in style – mellow almost big band in its construction all be it with strings.
