Painter, Composer, Arranger, Educator, Author, Pianist, Trumpeter, and one of the key Instigators and Revoloutionaries of what we now know as (Post-Bebop) New Music, passed away on June 16th. He left an incredible body of work. www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=58430 , www.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/arts/music/20dixon.html

Many years ago, Soul Patrol Digest, a wonderful Arts and Culture Online Magazine, was gracious enough to publish an article I had written about him. Soul Patrol http://www.soul-patrol.com/ I always thought that if Bill Dixon and Frank Zappa http://home.online.no/~corneliu/mother1.htm (both exceptional musicians with brilliant minds), had had the opportunity to meet each other and talk (they were both admirers of the music of Anton Webern), they would have ended up conversing for hours.
