Reviews
"17 MUSICIANS is a dense, sprawling effort. The album as recorded last year at the Vision Festival in New York and it crackles with the kind of energy that you can only find in a live setting.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "While there are some great solos...the way the music shifts and coalesces around their voices matters most. Dixon doesn't assert his own instrumental voice until fairly late, where he gets into the give and take.", "17 MUSICIANS...is scored for a reimagined big band, including prominent roles for bassoon, contrabass clarinet and vibraphone, while Glynis Loman's cello adds a voice completely outside of conventional big band thinking."
