Bill Dixon

DIGIPACK EDITION

While his recordings with Archie Shepp and 7-Tette established Bill Dixon as a distinctive jazz modernist, ahead of the curve, creating a niche within a crowded field of emerging artists, it is Intents and Purposes that established his singularity. Together, they constitute the first chapter of a recorded legacy that continues to grow in stature and influence. - Bill Shoemaker
