Blowin' Away (Dizzy Reece and Ted Curson album)

Blowin' Away is an album by trumpeters Dizzy Reece and Ted Curson, recorded in 1976 and released on the Interplay label.

Reception

AllMusic's review by Scott Yanow stated, "It is a pity that Reece and Curson do not get to tangle on all of the numbers, but they do shoot off some fireworks (most notably on 'Walkin'); the playing by all of the veterans is up to par".

DownBeat assigned the album 4.5 stars. Brent Staples wrote, "Blowin' Away has all the elements of an old time cuttin’ session: familiar tunes, a strong rhythm section and two roosters in the same barnyard. Curson and Reece seem intent upon blowing each other out of the studio".
