Jazzwise: Bill Dixon’s Tapestries For Small Orchestra (Firehouse 12)

(January 29, 2010)

Tapestries for Small Orchestra is distinguished tone poetry and painting,” writes Jazzwise reviewer Kevin Le Gendre in the February issue.

“The beauty of the 2-CD set lies as much in individual notes as it does assemblages thereof, and in the same way that single word in a sonnet or shade on a tableau can be the central focus of a poet or painter’s aesthetic, here the resonance of one sound is the essence. Ambitious, uncompromising in its use of structure, daring in its pursuit of unheard sounds, this is Dixon in the ascendant.”
