'Accident' - Curtis Fuller
Trombonist Curtis Fuller, one of the hard-bop greats, released his great album 'Images of Curtis Fuller' in 1960, and the title track 'Accident' has become a standard in it's own right.
It also helps to have heavy hitters Lee Morgan and Wilbur Harden on trumpet, Jimmy Garrison on bass, McCoy Turner on piano (Turner and Garrison would become the part of the John Coltrane Classic Quartet later), Yusuf Lateef on sax, and Bobby Donaldson on drums.
Enjoy this classic track and start boppin!
