Keep It Simple (Curtis Fuller album)

Keep It Simple is a studio album by American jazz trombonist Curtis Fuller recorded in 2003 and released by the Savant label in 2005.

[1][2][3] Matt Collar of Allmusic said: "Fuller once again reunites with a former Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers alum for a set of standards and original compositions.

Joining Fuller this time is tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, who played with Blakey from the late '80s until the drummer's death in 1990.

"[4] In his review for JazzTimes, Aaron Steinberg wrote: "There's nothing brash or unconventional about trombonist Curtis Fuller's latest, Keep It Simple.

It comes into full bloom during the slow ballads, such as 'Loverman', which are highlights of this excellent set, and blends perfectly with Jackson's slightly edgy sound.
