“Sliding Easy” with the CURTIS FULLER SEXTET. What an amazing line up: LEE MORGAN. HANK MOBLEY. TOMMY FLANAGAN. PAUL CHAMBERS. ELVIN JONES. Arrangements by: BENNY GOLSON & GIGI GRYCE. United Artists. (1959)
The debut record of Curtis Fuller as a session leader, “New Trombone” (1957) with Red Kyner (Sonny Red), Hank Jones, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes. Prestige. Cover design by Reid Miles. Liner notes by Ira Gitler. Engineered by Rudy Van Gelder.
This is a really beautiful cover. The photo only begins to do it justice. The colors and tones of the actual record sleeve are stunning. Simple and elegant. Fifties.
The French Fontana label put out this really cool series of records – all with big titles and exclamation marks, big artist backdrops and sweet, cheesecake models up front. Very sixties pop art like. The music reissued here is all from great fifties sessions.
