Former textile salesman Brian Dee abandoned sales for a career in jazz. In 1959, he became house pianist at Ronnie Scott’s newly opened club, playing an important role in helping establish the club as the U.K.’s leading jazz venue. He became a member of the group, Jazz Five, touring the U.K. with Miles Davis and was soon ensconced at the Establishment Club where he led his own trio opposite Dudley Moore’s. During the late-'60s he began working in recording and broadcasting studios, accompanying many artists including Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Chet Baker and Johnny Mercer. During the 90s, Dee worked with the Ted Heath Orchestra, with Laurie Johnson’s London Big Band, and also accompanied visiting American jazzmen such as Bill Berry, Buster Cooper and Marshal Royal.
Brian Dee has also released music as a member of Danny Moss Quartet and The Jazz Five.
