CD Review: Curtis Fuller/I Will Tell Her

One simply can't help but reconcile with the panoply of both talent and artistry when you listen to jazz trombonist Curtis Fuller's take of the jazz ballad ''I Will Tell Her''... So moving!!  So Poignant!! This CD project just oozes with anything that one might associate with the jazz idiom, and Fuller's sidemen exemplify this! I'm not familiar with jazz pianist's Chip Stephens, but I must attest to the control he exhibits with his choices of strong jazz harmony as well as viable melodic motifs expressed within the project.

Curtis has filled his project with wondrous splashes of lyrical beauty and music that is both gentle and most approachable. The CD therefore unfolds itself with great deliberation, magnificence, plus an attendant marvellous sense of 'space' as it were. Bach could not have done any better!!
