Sealed 2013, Out Of Print Limited Edition, 45rpm 2LP 180gm HQ Reissue In Deluxe Gatefold Jacket. Star Bright is a classic jazz album by Dizzy Reece, a Jamaican-born trumpeter who played a key role in the British jazz scene in the 1950s and 60s. Originally released in 1959, the album features Reece's signature blend of hard bop and Caribbean rhythms, with an incredable lineup that includes saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor. The album's title track is a standout, showcasing Reece's nimble trumpet playing and Taylor's propulsive drumming. Other highlights include the Latin-inspired "The Rebound" and the bluesy "A Variation on Monk." Star Bright is an essential album for fans of classic jazz, showcasing the talents of one of the genre's most underrated trumpeters. Reece's playing is both soulful and virtuosic, and his compositions are equally impressive, drawing on a range of musical influences. The album has aged well over the years, and still sounds fresh and exciting today.
