Trombone player Curtis Fuller was one of the unsung heroes of Blue Note records, so his presence on “Blue Train” is definitely appreciated. I am beginning to think Philly Joe Jones is my favorite drummer, too.

It always surprises me how many jazz songs I “know” in the back of my mind. Thanks to your humongous collection, Baba.
