By the early 1950's, Jamaican-born Dizzy Reece, who is not only an outstanding bop trumpeter, but a fine composer, was playing with top-of-the-line British and European jazzers. Starting in '58, Mr Reece cut a series of four excellent albums for Blue Note. They are all included on the three discs in the "Mosaic Select: Dizzy Reece" box set.
