Here's some stuff I wrote about Bill Dixon some years ago: http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=5&topic_id=2893504&mesg_id=2893504&listing_type=search#2896066

I mixed up "Son of sisyphus" and "Thoughts" (I meant the latter), otherwise, I stand by what I wrote; this boxset of his Soul Note records is highly recommended and quite a bargain: https://www.discogs.com/Bill-Dixon-The-Complete-Remastered-Recordings-On-Black-Saint-Soul-Note/release/3535293

Of course, they have literally all those records on Spotify too but whatever...

Anyway, BIG fan of dude and he was extremely important as a teacher/ideologist etc. in 60's free jazz; it was he who started the Jazz Composers Guild for example and also organized the october revolution in jazz in NYC in '64. Unfortunately, his discography in the 60's and 70's is very small but he made up for it in the 80's and continued to make music in his trademark style-no compromises...
