Trombonist and composer Curtis Fuller, a pivotal figure on his instrument since the 50s and a beloved mentor, passed away May 8. He was 88. His death was confirmed by his daughter, Mary Fuller, and by the Jazz Foundation of America. His sound was massive, striking and immediate, a waveform that was calibrated to overload the senses and saturate the magnetic tape that captured it, says trombonist and composer Jacob Garchik. In our era of obsession with harmony and mixed meters, Curtis Fuller s legacy reminds us of the importance of sound.
