Descripción
Hear what Michael Fremer, Wayne Garcia and others are saying about the
Blue Note Definitive 45rpm Reissue Series from Music Matters, Ltd:
"They’re BIG and open and definitely work in stereo because they’re not hard left/right stereo. The cymbals are so "chimey" and the skins so open! Even Rudy's typical boxy piano isn't too bad. These are going to be really good....!!!! (Real time reaction after hearing his first test pressing of Horace Parlan’s Speakin’ My Piece LP.)" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine
"I’ve heard a lot of Blue Note originals and myriad reissues over the years, but based on the sample test pressings heard so far, none—and I mean none—convey the intensity of living, breathing music-making the way the Music Matter’s Blue Note series does. The sense of air, texture, and dynamic pop in these grooves is astonishing." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound
"Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers "The Big Beat” and Horace Parlan, "Speakin’ My Piece.” And if this is any indication of what’s to come, I advise you to get on the list now, before this collection is sold out." - Albert Porter, www.positive-feedback.com
"The Music Matters 45s have all immediacy and add a free-flowing naturalness that is surprising at first but very easy to get used to." - Marc Mickelson, www.soundstage.com
One of the great trumpeters of the late 1950s, Dizzy Reece was born in Jamaica, spent years living and playing in London, and moved to the United States in 1959 after recording Blues In Trinity for Blue Note in London. Star Bright was his American debut and just one of three albums he made in the U.S. before returning to Europe. Reece should have stuck around longer for his playing is the equal of any American trumpeter of the time. On four of his originals (including "Groovesville” and "A Variation On Monk”) plus two standards, Reece displays very impressive technique, a sound of his own, and plenty of passion. He overshadows his star sidemen (which include Hank Mobley and Wynton Kelly) and makes the case for his place in Blue Note and hard bop history as one of the giants.
