The New Scene of King Curtis is an album by saxophonist King Curtis recorded for the New Jazz label in 1960.[1] [2] The album features Nat Adderley who performed under the pseudonym "Little Brother" on the original release due to contractual restrictions.
Eugene Chadbourne's review on AllMusic states: "for the 1960 recording, Curtis is accompanied by two-thirds of a famous Miles Davis rhythm section as well as a drummer who eventually became prominent on the Parisian swing scene ... Chambers and Kelly can not be too strongly emphasized as components of this brilliant group, carrying over their assets to the Curtis session as if shifting boxes from one side of a garage to another".
