He spent several years in an orphanage run by Jesuits where he developed a passion for jazz after one of the nuns there took him to see his first live performance. Curtis attended public school in his hometown (together with Donald Byrd and Milt Jackson) where he took up the trombone at the age of sixteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurtis Fuller was a well-respected member of iconic outfits such as Art Blakey \u0026amp; The Jazz Messengers, Art Farmer’s Tentet, The Benny Golson Quintet and Eastern Rebellion. The list of his collaborations is impressive to say the least, Mr. Fuller recorded and performed with greats such as Quincy Jones, John Coltrane, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Roland Kirk Rashaan, Miles Davis…and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuller was granted an honorary doctorate of music from Berklee College of Music in 1999 and eight years later he was honored as a \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eNEA\u003c\/span\u003e Jazz Master.

Curtis Fuller plays from the heart and is on top of his game. Expect sharp and elegant original compositions, machine gun-like spurts, angular boppish lines and top rhythm section work that never gets in the way of the horns spreading their wings.
