This is what musicians call a 'blowing sessions'. No attempt to create any so-called 'new sounds'. Just honest-to-goodness, down-to-earth, relaxed swinging jazz. This date gives a real first recording break to one of the British jazz scene's 'musicians' musicians, trumpeter Dizzy Reece. Dizzy's following is confined to just about every musician who has blown with him, a handful of knowledgeable fans (the kind who dig Miles Davis) and a couple of critics. This particular writer has tried to wake the town and tell the people about Dizzy since early 1954, but so far all appears to have fallen on deaf ears. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Dizzy Reece first learnt baritone horn before switching to trumpet, his schoolmates included altoist Joe Harriott and tenorist Wilton 'Bogey' Gaynair. Reece came to Europe, via London, in 1948 and whilst in Paris between 1949 and 1950 sat in with Americans Don Byas and Hay Cameron. 

He later worked in Germany, Holland and Italy, returning to London in 1954. Playing loosely in the Miles Davis style, he gained sufficient attention in the London clubs for Tempo to give him a recording contract. The session presented here by Jasmine date from 1955 and 1956 and include his complete LP 'A New Star' plus his 'Dizzy Blows Bird' tracks. Tubby Hayes is featured on "Now's The Time" & "Please Call" and Ronnie Scott plays on "Out Of Nowhere" & "Scrapple From The Apple". ~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/New-Star-ORIGINAL-RECORDINGS-REMASTERED/dp/B000059T6Q
