Dizzy Reece • Blues In Trinity

 

Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine  
As Dizzy Reece's first album for Blue Note, Blues in Trinity goes a long way to establish the trumpeter's signature sound. Reece doesn't take chances stylistically; he prefers to stay within the confines of hard bop. Nevertheless, he has a bold, forceful sound that simply burns with passion. Even on slower numbers, there's a fire to his playing that keeps Blues in Trinity from being predictable. The high quality of the album is even more impressive given the recording circumstances. The English-based Reece was playing in Paris at the time, and he assembled a sextet featuring the vacationing British musicians Tubby Hayes (tenor saxophone) and Terry Shannon (piano), visiting American stars Donald Byrd (trumpet) and Art Taylor (drums), and Canadian bassist Lloyd Thompson, who was playing in Paris with Zoot Sims. Although the band was thrown together, there's a definite spark to this combo, which interacts as if it had been playing together for a long time. Throughout it all, Reece steals the show with his robust playing, and that's why Blues in Trinity rises above the level of standard-issue hard bop and becomes something special.

Reseña
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine  
Como primer álbum de Dizzy Reece para Blue Note, Blues in Trinity contribuye en gran medida a establecer el sonido característico del trompetista. Reece no se arriesga estilísticamente; prefiere permanecer dentro de los confines del hard bop. Sin embargo, tiene un sonido audaz y contundente que arde de pasión. Incluso en los números más lentos, hay un fuego en su forma de tocar que hace que Blues in Trinity no sea predecible. La alta calidad del álbum es aún más impresionante dadas las circunstancias de la grabación. Reece, afincado en Inglaterra, estaba tocando en París por aquel entonces y reunió a un sexteto formado por los músicos británicos Tubby Hayes (saxo tenor) y Terry Shannon (piano), las estrellas americanas Donald Byrd (trompeta) y Art Taylor (batería), y el bajista canadiense Lloyd Thompson, que estaba tocando en París con Zoot Sims. Aunque la banda se formó de improviso, hay una chispa definida en este combo, que interactúa como si hubieran estado tocando juntos durante mucho tiempo. En todo momento, Reece se lleva la palma con su robusta interpretación, y por eso Blues in Trinity supera el nivel del hard bop estándar y se convierte en algo especial.
