Born in Kingston, Jamaica, the trumpeter Dizzy Reece moved to London at age 17 and began working across Europe, frequently in Paris, where he played with the likes of Don Byas and Kenny Clarke. Reece also made fans of Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins who spread the word about a hot new trumpeter on the European scene. So when Donald Byrd and Art Taylor came through Paris on tour in 1958 they sought out Reece and even found their way into the recording studio together for what would become Reece\u2019s Blue Note debut Blues In Trinity. Encouraged by Alfred Lion, Reece would move to New York City the next year where Lion quickly put him back in the studio with a first-rate hard bop band including Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Taylor once again on drums. The resulting album Star Bright is a hidden gem of the Blue Note catalog with Reece shining brightly on a 6-song set that included several of his own bluesy originals like \u201cThe Rake,\u201d \u201cGroovesville,\u201d \u201cThe Rebound,\u201d and the Thelonious Monk inspired \u201cA Variation On Monk.\u201d Two standards round out the offering with swinging takes on \u201cI\u2019ll Close My Eyes\u201d and \u201cI Wished On The Moon,\u201d both of which showcase Reece\u2019s sublime delivery of a melody.<\/p>\n
