As left-field jazz fans know, drummer-composer Whit Dickey has amassed a
sizable catalog of recordings as a bandleader, in addition to several dozen
more as a collaborator and sideman with David S. Ware, Matthew Shipp, Ivo
Perelman, and Joe Morris among them. Peace Planet and Box of Light were
recorded by his Tao Quartets, whose membership varies. He and saxophonist Rob
Brown are the common denominators, while Shipp and bassist William Parker fill
out Peace Planet, and trombonist Steve Swell and bassist Michael Bisio appear
on Box of Light. As might be expected, the music on these albums varies
significantly yet remains inexorably linked by the drummer's and saxophonist's
presences. Dickey composed everything on these dates, recorded during the
winter of 2018 and 2019 in Brooklyn. The relationships between these musicians
are longstanding. Dickey, Shipp, Brown, and Parker began working together
during the late '80s; Dickey met Bisio shortly thereafter, and Swell during the
'90s on N.Y.C. downtown scene. [...]
