Blowin' Away is an album by trumpeters Dizzy Reece and Ted Curson which was recorded in 1976 and first released on the Interplay label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating "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".
