Three LPs, boldly mapping their own way through Fire Music, with elements of modern classical music and an abstraction of Mingus as their guiding stars: The Archie Shepp-Bill Dixon Quartet, originally released in 1962 on Savoy; the split Bill Dixon 7-Tette / Archie Shepp And The New York Contemporary 5 from 1964, another Savoy, with some ace Ken McIntyre; and the sombre masterpiece Intents And Purposes, by The Bill Dixon Orchestra — devised to accompany contemporary dance, and with some scorching Byard Lancaster — originally released in 1967 by RCA Victor.
