Word of his playing reached Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, and his Blue Note debut, Blues In Trinity, came from a 1958 London session with Donald Byrd and Art Taylor. At Alfred Lion's urging he moved to New York, and on November 19, 1959 Lion recorded him at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with Rudy Van Gelder engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quintet pairs Reece with Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Taylor again on drums. Reece wrote four of the six pieces: \"The Rake,\" \"Groovesville,\" \"The Rebound\" and the Thelonious Monk-inspired \"A Variation On Monk.\" The two standards are \"I'll Close My Eyes\" and Dorothy Parker and Ralph Rainger's \"I Wished On The Moon.\" Blue Note also issued \"The Rake\" and \"The Rebound\" as the two sides of a 45, catalog 45-1759.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original jacket was designed by Reid Miles with photography by Francis Wolff, and Leonard Feather wrote the liner notes.
