Tracks: 01. A Ghost of a Chance 02. Once in a While 03. EB Pob 04. Yesterdays 05. Our Love is Here to Stay 06. Blue Streak Credits: Dizzy Reece (trumpet) Walter Bishop, Jr.(piano) Doug Watkins (bass) Art Taylor (drums) Maybe not exactly the first ‘Dizzy’ that comes to mind when discussing jazz, this Jamaican-born, British-raised trumpeter overcame whatever burdens that nickname may have wrought, to become a highly respected player in the New York scene. He enhanced that rep by recording some truly excellent albums for the Savoy, Blue Note and Prestige labels among others. Christened Alphonso Son Reece, his robust and passionate playing styles always seemed to inspire other musicians in his company. The contributions by the esteemed trio invited; pianist Walter Bishop, Jr., bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor unilaterally match the front-man’s fire and bold approach to each tune. Straight-ahead bop versions of American Song Book greats “Our Love Is Here To Stay”, “Once In A While” and “(I Don’t Stand A) Ghost Of A Chance” standout, as does the Reece’s original composition, “ Blue Streak”. Another installment in the Classic Blue Note Signature LP reissue Series featuring authentic tip on jackets with film laminate front covers. Mastered and cut on Classic’s ALL TUBE MONO cutting system and cutter head makes this the definitive version of this LP and possibly better than impossible to find original copies!
