about

[RITICD6]

Whit Dickey: drums
Joe Morris: guitar
Rob Brown: alto sax

[ this great set made its digital debut, exclusively here on bandcamp, September 3, 2020. ]

Drummer Whit Dickey, whose debut recording was with Matthew Shipp on the pianist’s legendary Circular Temple and who then went on to perform and record with tenor saxophonist David S. Ware, began concentrating his efforts on leading and recording his own groups in 1996, making his leader debut on record with Transonic.

On Prophet Moon he leads Trio Ahxoloxha, which includes longtime colleagues Rob Brown on alto saxophone & flute, and Joe Morris on guitar. Ahxoloxha, a palindrome invented by Dickey, helps to describe his concept of how the group works together, balanced on all sides. This was the latest configuration of an ensemble originally organized by Brown to record the CD Youniverse in 1993 and had at various times been led by Morris as well. This version centers on the drum compositions and orchestral playing of Dickey, whose original use of space, energy, density, and rhythm provide a unique platform for the group to exchange ideas and create a totally original group sound and music that is spare, deep, melodic and driving.
