Dizzy Reece • Comin' On

 

Review
by Al Campbell
For a short time in the late '50s trumpeter Dizzy Reece was an up-and-coming jazz artist. However, success eluded him and he quietly faded into obscurity, only occasionally releasing material after the early '60s. As a matter of fact, the sessions that became Comin' On! languished in the Blue Note vaults for almost four decades. Rediscovered in 1999, these dates feature six well-rounded hard bop compositions by Reece along with three standards. The tracks from April 3, 1960, not only document the Blue Note debut of tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine but also employ the talents of the Jazz Messengers' rhythm section of the time, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Jymie Merritt, and drummer Art Blakey. By July 17, 1960, the only musician remaining from the previous date was Turrentine, sharing tenor duties with Musa Kaleem, who is also heard on flute. (The later session's rhythm section had changed to pianist Duke Jordan, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Al Harewood.) Neglected, although spirited, sessions from an underrated trumpeter and composer.

Reseña
por Al Campbell
Durante un breve periodo de tiempo, a finales de los años 50, el trompetista Dizzy Reece fue una promesa del jazz. Sin embargo, el éxito le fue esquivo y se desvaneció en el anonimato, publicando material sólo ocasionalmente a partir de principios de los años sesenta. De hecho, las sesiones que se convirtieron en Comin' On! languidecieron en las bóvedas de Blue Note durante casi cuatro décadas. Redescubiertas en 1999, estas fechas incluyen seis composiciones de hard bop de Reece junto con tres standards. Los temas del 3 de abril de 1960 no sólo documentan el debut en Blue Note del saxofonista tenor Stanley Turrentine, sino que también emplean el talento de la sección rítmica de los Jazz Messengers de la época, el pianista Bobby Timmons, el bajista Jymie Merritt y el batería Art Blakey. El 17 de julio de 1960, el único músico que quedaba de la sesión anterior era Turrentine, que compartía el puesto de tenor con Musa Kaleem, a quien también se oye tocar la flauta. (La sección rítmica de la sesión posterior había cambiado al pianista Duke Jordan, el bajista Sam Jones y el batería Al Harewood). Sesiones olvidadas, aunque enérgicas, de un trompetista y compositor infravalorado.
