It was August 2000, and we were rehearsing at the old Carrol Studios, on 41st and 9th, with the World of Trombones. It was my first gig with the group, and we were heading to Graz, Austria to play the Sommer Jazz Fest. When Slide called me for the gig, I took it without realizing that my passport had expired. I wasn't able to schedule an appointment at the passport agency until the day before we left. If anything had gone wrong at the agency, I wouldn't have made that trip. At one of the rehearsals, Curtis mentioned that the lamination was coming unglued around his passport photo and that it needed to be replaced. He was intimating that maybe he shouldn't be making the trip. I quickly chimed that I was heading to pick up my new passport the following morning and that I would be glad to pick him up and take him with me. I met Curtis at his hotel and we cabbed it down to Varick and Canal, or somewhere around there. On the ride down, Curtis told me about being in the band at Fort Knox. It was the last band that Cannonball conducted there. He said that everyone could really play, save for the company clerk who was the son of a potato chip magnate, or some such. The guy's name was Charlie Utz. I said, "right Curtis...Utz chips!!!" Curtis wasn't hip to the Utz chips, and I'm sure many folks outside of NYC have no clue about them either. (they're the cracked-out off-brand that are sold at most delis in nyc) My appointment was for 9:30am, and I think we got there about an hour early. We were gruffly sent away and told to return at the scheduled time. So, we went and got a little breakfast. Fine with me....more time to listen to Fuller's stories. He told me how close he and Frank Rosolino were as a result of their Detroit connection. Frank was older than Curtis and left town to go out with Kenton when Curtis was just coming up. I guess Frank admired Curtis' playing, and tried out his horn only to realize that it wasn't much more than a hunk of metal. So, Frank gave Curtis a horn and all of his gigs when he left town. Curtis loved him for that, and they remained in contact through the years. Frank would routinely make the trip from LA to NYC to hear Curtis play at the Vanguard with Benny Golson or Art Blakey. Curtis also told of his hangs with Pepper Adams. Due to the social situation of the time, Curtis would duck down in the back seat of Pepper's car as they drove to Pepper's house. Once there, they would shed tunes all day and Pepper's mom would make some food. There were so many cats in that scene. The Jones brothers, Pepper, Louis Hayes...man there was a lot of music coming out of Detroit. And when they moved to NYC, they all lived together. Curtis said he learned how to make a mean meatloaf to feed all the cats who would crash on their floor. Speaking of the social scene, he mentioned that while at Fort Knox he had a white friend who lived near Detroit. When they would get leave time, he would drive Curtis to Detroit, while Curtis rode in the trunk. They couldn't risk be hasseled by the police in Kentucky. After all of the stories, we finally made our way back to the passport agency. When I entered, I explained to a woman behind a desk that Curtis was accompanying me and I was wondering if they could help him with a simple issue. She, not so nicely, explained that they probably could not. I was determined to hook Curtis up, so I took him upstairs with me. As we waited, he started explaining that he didn't really have to go on the trip, and this was really a young guy's band and he could just as easily stay home. I think he was trying to let me know that I shouldn't work to hard and screw my own scene up with the passport office. But, I was still determined...although getting a little nervous. When I was called to approach an agent, I prefaced the transaction by explaining that Curtis would be traveling with me and that he had a valid passport but had been given some grief in other countries about the laminant on his passport. The agent slowed me right down and explained that he may be willing to take a look at Fuller's passport, but first he would take care of mine. After my transaction was completed, he looked at Fuller's passport and took it in the back. He through some glue in the seam and ran it through the laminating machine again. It came back as good as new. I looked at Fuller and said,"See there Curtis, you're going to Austria!" He replied, "I like hangin' with you, Dave. You're a really positive cat." That was one of the most special moments of my life. Curtis Fuller is one of the warmest, most sensitive human beings I have ever known. There are certainly a few stories to which I've been privy that I cannot share here. But, every experience I have with him supports my love for his spirit. He is, IMHO, an under appreciated gem of jazz history.

I was pretty steamed, because I thought I'd have to pay to upgrade from v3, but they did the right thing and took care of me! Version 3 is pretty good, but I missed a feature from Mosaic, where, if you changed something on a part, it would also change in your score. V3 didn't do that, you'd have to change the score, then go back and extract parts again. The new version takes care of that, plus some other wee things. Can't wait til they start shipping upgrades!

For those who don't know, it was a "studio orchestra" recording featuring Curtis and Freddie Hubbard on the arrangements of Manny Album. Curtis said it was his first really big pay day. He was able to put a down payment on a new house with the bread. Unfortunately, it cost the label so much to record the large group that there was no rehearsal time, and no second takes. After each take, Curtis would ask to do another and they would tell him it sounded great. Then, he got a little more stern about wanting to do another take and they informed him that there were a great number of musicians being paid and that the take he had done was fine. Another interesting note about the recording....All of the tunes are from the Broadway version of the musical, Cabin in the Sky. Most folks at the time were probably more familiar with the movie version, which feature all different music, save for "Taking a Chance on Love." I think that was the only tune that was in both. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
