Alphonso Son "Dizzy" Reece (born 5 January 1931)[1] is a Jamaican-born jazz trumpeter.[2] Reece emerged within London's burgeoning bebop jazz scene during the 1950s[3] and went on to become a leading proponent of hard bop jazz in New York City.[4]
He later experimented with other jazz sub-genres in the late 1960s and 1970s, and continues to remain active in performance and composition.[5] Reece's contribution to the jazz idiom is considered influential and he is often identified as one of jazz's great trumpet players.
