It's a point further emphasized by the order of the musicians' names on the sleeve: Cleaver first, then bassist William Parker and finally pianist Craig Taborn. This ...
Bill Dixon Orchestra: Intents And Purposes
by John Sharpe
At last Bill Dixon's almost mythical Intents And Purposes sees the light of day once again. The only sadness is that the trumpeter died in June 2010 before his monumental early masterpiece could resurface. Painstakingly transferred from the two-track masters, the disc is lovingly presented as a facsimile of the original LP with the album cover ...
