from Chicago Reader by By Peter Margasak and John Corbett "Bill Dixon, one of the most radically original musicians ever to playthe instrument; Dixon expanded its vocabulary with small smears andbreath sounds that presaged the approach of today’s gesture-basedtrumpeters by nearly four decades, and his compositions andarrangements did the same thing for the structures they improvisedwithin. Dixon is 81, and this is only his second performance ever intown—the first, unbelievably, didn’t happen till this July. You mighthave a hard time imagining how Dixon’s mercurial, intuitive style wouldfit into a large group playing relatively structured music, but I’mconfident that Mazurek, with his broad range, sharp ears, and generousspirit, will make this a simpatico collaboration."
