Dizzy Reece Quintet • From in to out

 

 

Alphonso Son "Dizzy" Reece is a hard bop jazz trumpeter with a distinctive sound and compositional style.
Reece was born January 5, 1931 in Kingston, Jamaica, the son of a silent film pianist. He attended the Alpha Boys School (famed in Jamaica for its musical alumni), switching from baritone to trumpet at 14. A full-time musician from age 16, he moved to London in 1948 and spent the 1950s working in Europe, much of that time in Paris. He played with Don Byas, Kenny Clarke, Frank Foster and Thad Jones, among others. Winning praise from the likes of Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, he emigrated to New York City in 1959, but found New York in the 1960s a struggle. Too little heard-from in the intervening years, he had a reissue on Mosaic in 2004 that gave fans hope of a comeback. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/dizzy-reece/



Biography by Scott Yanow
Dizzy Reece is a fine hard bop trumpeter who has been overshadowed by the innovators of the style. He started on trumpet when he was 14 and moved to Europe in 1949. It was while he was based in England (1954-1959) that he achieved some recognition through a series of recordings with top English musicians, plus a 1958 date with Donald Byrd. He moved to New York in 1959 but, after a few notable recordings and a bit of publicity, Reece seemed to largely fade away despite remaining active. He was with the Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra in 1968 and the Paris Reunion Band in 1985. https://www.allmusic.com/artist/dizzy-reece-mn0000161947#biography

Alphonso Son «Dizzy» Reece es un trompetista de jazz hard bop con un sonido y un estilo compositivo característicos.
Reece nació el 5 de enero de 1931 en Kingston, Jamaica, hijo de un pianista de cine mudo. Asistió a la Alpha Boys School (famosa en Jamaica por sus antiguos alumnos de música), y cambió el barítono por la trompeta a los 14 años. Músico a tiempo completo desde los 16 años, se trasladó a Londres en 1948 y pasó la década de 1950 trabajando en Europa, gran parte de ese tiempo en París. Tocó con Don Byas, Kenny Clarke, Frank Foster y Thad Jones, entre otros. Tras recibir los elogios de Miles Davis y Sonny Rollins, emigró a Nueva York en 1959, pero en la década de 1960 Nueva York le resultó difícil. En 2004, Mosaic reeditó su música, lo que dio a los aficionados la esperanza de un regreso. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/dizzy-reece/



Biografía de Scott Yanow
Dizzy Reece es un excelente trompetista de hard bop que ha sido eclipsado por los innovadores del estilo. Empezó a tocar la trompeta a los 14 años y se trasladó a Europa en 1949. Fue durante su estancia en Inglaterra (1954-1959) cuando alcanzó cierto reconocimiento gracias a una serie de grabaciones con los mejores músicos ingleses, además de una cita en 1958 con Donald Byrd. Se trasladó a Nueva York en 1959 pero, tras unas pocas grabaciones notables y un poco de publicidad, Reece pareció desvanecerse en gran medida a pesar de seguir en activo. Formó parte de la orquesta de Dizzy Gillespie en 1968 y de la Paris Reunion Band en 1985.
