Star Brightis a seminal hard bop album by Jamaican jazz trumpeter Dizzy Reece, recorded on November 19, 1959. Released in 1960 by Blue Note Records, it marked Reece’s second leader session for the label and his first after moving to New York City
Track Listing:
The album consists of six tracks, featuring four original compositions by Reece and two standards:
"The Rake" (Reece) – A swaggering blues piece and the album's lead single.
"I'll Close My Eyes" (Reid/Kaye) – A standard showcasing Reece’s melodic delivery.
"Groovesville" (Reece) – A sprightly hard bop number.
"The Rebound" (Reece) – A high-energy track with strong rhythmic velocity from Kelly.
"I Wished on the Moon" (Parker/Rainger) – A standard with a bouncy, sophisticated style.
"A Variation on Monk" (Reece) – A blues-infused tribute inspired by Thelonious Monk.
Personnel and Style:
The album features a quintessential hard bop quintet comprising some of the genre's most respected musicians:
Dizzy Reece: Trumpet
Hank Mobley: Tenor Saxophone
Wynton Kelly: Piano
Paul Chambers: Bass
Art Taylor: Drums
Critics often highlight the synergy between Reece and Mobley, noting Reece's "fat" and soulful tone alongside Mobley's inventive and confident solos.
Legacy and Reissues:
Long considered a "hidden gem" in the Blue Note catalog, Star Bright is praised for its production quality by Rudy Van Gelder. In 2023, the album was reissued as part of the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, featuring all-analog mastering from the original tapes.
Dizzy Reece – Blues in Trinity
Blues in Trinity is an album by Jamaican-born England-based jazz trumpeter Dizzy Reece, featuring performances recorded in 1958. It was his first album for the Blue Note label and is considered by some to be a ‘bop classic’ and among Reece’s best work. Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars and the review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated, “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”.
