Curtis Fuller Quotes

�I more or less think that the trombone was chosen for me. I first selected a violin, which I didn�t do too well with, and, ironically, the only thing left was the trombone. My next choice was a saxophone, but they didn�t have any; so I think that the Creator had a lot to do with what I did�Because things just happened, you know, and I had no control over it. And I ended up with my instrument that I play now.�
Curtis Fuller

�It was Miles Davis who took me to New York, and Coltrane was in the band, as well as Paul Chambers, Philly Jo Jones. �Trane took me aside, and, of course, we did Blue Trane, which was my first album�and that started everything. He had confidence that I didn�t have; he saw something that I didn�t see.�
