Album Notes & Community Reviews
Jamaican-born trumpeter Dizzy Reece's 'Asia Minor' incorporates subtle Eastern scales and varied time signatures into a robust hard bop framework. Supported by Joe Farrell and Cecil Payne, Reece's playing is characterized by its sharp, biting tone and highly unorthodox, angular phrasing. It remains a critically underappreciated session that showcases a unique compositional voice within the early 60s jazz scene.
