	Clean Feed -Coalescence
		Whit Dickey is a musician that has built his career through coherent and judicious choices.
		Dickey was part of the quartet of the extraordinary saxophonist David S. Ware during 5 years and also of the Matthew Shipp Trio, with whom he still usually plays.
		Whit Dickey is the catalyst who unites all the elements, exploring moods and impulses that form the themes and mirror subtle Monk and Ornette influences.

	Coalescence : Whit Dickey Quartet : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Dickey's playing hasn't mellowed over the years, as some seem to suggest, but he has finally begun to show a certain amount of finesse, something lacking in earlier efforts such as Ware's Cyrptology, where he could be accused of being a bit ham-fisted.
		To call Dickey's playing sluggish is not meant as a criticism, though, as his is an oddly effective approach to time, making the listener acutely aware of hindrance while still feeling compelled to tap a foot to the beat.
		In a way, he provides Dickey with the space needed to let up a bit, and for that his playing is the definition of complimentary.

	Clean Feed -In a Heartbeat
		Every Whit Dickey’s recording shows the public a new concept of this band which is becoming cyclically deeper and reorganised in order to be considered in such a way.
		Whit Dickey’s musical composition, further its function to frame the activity of the quintet, is based on a deep practical knowledge, a capacity of interaction and interdependence, which are the essential conditions for the process of evolution.
		With Dickey, a master of drums, has a characteristic sound from which stands out a homogeneous mixture between strength, sensitivity and fluidity of time, emotional intensity and formal rigour, texture and volume, and a variety of tempos.

	* Dusted Reviews - Whit Dickey’s Trio Ahxoloxha *
		Dickey’s latest release reunites a trio that has at one time or another been under the helm of each of its three members, and their palindromic name reflects the guiding spirit of symmetry.
		Dickey scripts each of the disc’s five compositions, but each track is outfitted more as an excuse for on-the-fly improvisation rather than rote allegiance to charts.
		Hopefully Dickey’s here to stay with confidence intact and will recognize that his chops are better served on the band stand and recording studio than in the wood shed.

	Whit Dickey \| Coalescence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Whit Dickey, heir to Murray and Rashied Ali, propulsion for David S. Ware and Matthew Shipp in the '90s, and a formidable bandleader in his own right, is one of the percussionists to fill the shoes of such heavy company.
		On Coalescence, Dickey's third album as a leader (the first was recorded six years ago for AUM Fidelity), the percussionist is joined by altoist/flutist Rob Brown, who also contributed to that first session, trumpeter Roy Campbell Jr., and bassist Joe Morris (whose guitar now seems to be the moonlight gig).
		Dickey is not, with this ensemble, presenting a dramatic new concept in improvised music, as his compositional style runs the gamut from driving free-bop to pastoral tone poems.

		The first release by the Whit Dickey-led Nommonsemble is a simple reminder that if you thought life was easy, you were wrong.
		Dickey, who is credited as the disc's composer and producer, rose to prominence in the mid-'90s as the ecstatic, freewheeling drummer for the David S. Ware Quartet and some of Shipp's units.
		Fans of Shipp or Dickey won't be disappointed by this imaginative record, but newcomers would be served by Transonic or the Matthew Shipp Quartet's 1997 album The Flow of X (Thirsty Ear), which features three-fourths of the Nommonsemble.

	WHIT DICKEY Trio - Transonic
		In 1996, Whit parted ways with the stunning groups of David S. Ware and Matthew Shipp - of which he was full part and parcel - under circumstances that provided stories which all involved are now able to laugh about.
		After a period of understandable dismay, Whit was inspired anew by aligning himself with his renewed compositional urges.
		Whit Dickey's addictive sense of time is ON, and his dancerly touch up top of the kit fully meshed with his full-bodied low end drive.

		Ahxoloxha is a palindrome invented by its leader, drummer Whit Dickey to describe how the group works together, balanced on all sides.
		Dickey, whose experience encompasses the bands of pianist Matthew Shipp and tenor saxophonist David S. Ware; and alto saxophonist Rob Brown, who has also played extensively with Shipp and bassist William Parker, come to the drummer's project from the core of New York's so-called ecstatic jazz movement.
		As Dickey bangs out a few bass drum pedal accents and the saxophonist's playing gets denser, Morris improvises in parallel lines that seem to progress without crossing or melding with the others' sounds.

	Whit Dickey/Trio Ahxoloxha \| Prophet Moon
		Drummer Whit Dickey, guitarist Joe Morris, and alto saxophonist Rob Brown united for the 1993 record Youniverse, and they've also intermingled on records by Morris, Dickey, and Matthew Shipp.
		While Dickey serves as the formal leader of this date (and it's his compositions that serve as its framework), it's clear pretty early on that this improvisational partnership is quite egalitarian in practice.
		Dickey's approach to drumming is idiosyncratic to say the least; while he brings an element of color and drama to the kit, his playing is anything but predictable.

	Matthew Shipp _____
		Whit Dickey's flat, dry drumming complements the pair's work brilliantly, but as with all Shipp/Parker recordings, the duo interaction is paramount.
		Parker and Dickey seem to be working on him, though, and influencing him, and soon he is creating long streams of low-end rumbles, great washes of notes which engulf the listener and make it impossible to do anything else but focus on the music, to hear where it's going to go next.
		Zo and DNA are duos with Parker, Sonic Explorations is a duo with Brown, and Thesis is a duo with guitarist Joe Morris.

		Whit Dickey’s Trio Ahxoloxha, Prophet Moon / William Parker, Joe Morris and Hamid Drake, Eloping with the Sun
		This time round Dickey’s in the leadership role, contributing all of the compositions.
		There’s a lot of terrific Brown on this disc – sample, for instance, the superb duet between him and Dickey on the opening of “Riptide” – but his shining moment is undoubtedly the coda of “Prophet Moon” itself.

	CD Review of Whit Dickey / Trio AHXOLOXHA - Prophet Moon on Riti Records @ jazzreview.com
		The recording is on Riti Records in an edition of 2000 released in late 2002.
		Dickey’s pace is not rhythmic; it is totally in keeping with the gears the alto and guitar have shifted to.
		His command of the drumset is total; he plays so evenly and quickly, the listener has to be careful to discover the shifts from sticks to mallets and those that tap the toms or snare or cymbals.

	Bagatellen: Whit Dickey - In a Heartbeat
		Dickey offers near constant rhythmic commentary on the action, switching from flurried stickplay to textured, barely perceptible patter and back again, continually keeping the ensemble on the move toward a crescendoing cloud burst of a close.
		Dickey’s style of drumming has undergone a string of changes since he first hit the scene in late 80s.
		In any case when I took the Dickey out on the road on my mp3 player I had no idea of the track titles, and just enjoyed listening to it as was.

	In a Heartbeat : Whit Dickey : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		In fact, Dickey is closer to the latter, in sound (splashy and broad) and in beat-width.
		Dickey himself doesn’t lead from the drum set a la Art Blakey, with force of personality—his leadership is subtler and wider, his kit just another part of the overall picture.
		The ghost is Charles Mingus’ and his sound in this music is a prayer, and a blessing, and a fine accomplishment for Whit Dickey and his group.

		Dickey penned all but two songs, "Kinesis" and "Second Skin," on the collection, and he even had a hand in those with the help of his fellow musicians on the album.
		Dickey recorded the album with the aid of Rob Brown on flute and alto saxophone, and Chris Lightcap on bass.
		In 2001, Dickey recorded half a dozen of his compositions with Mat Maneri, Shipp, and Brown under the name Nommonsemble, and put out Life Cycle through Aum Fidelity.

	AUGUST 2005
		Drummer Whit Dickey, who has worked extensively with Parker and reedman David S. Ware (who, you will recall, recently revisited Sonny Rollins’ Freedom Suite), has made an overt statement against the Bush administration with his latest quintet offering, his second for Clean Feed, In a Heartbeat.
		Morris, Lightcap and Dickey provide a broken, loose swing that despite the fracture remains surprisingly consonant, leaving the dissonance to the horns.
		Whether titled in protest at current government and societal trends or not, Dennis González and Whit Dickey have hit upon something that nevertheless speaks to the inherent improvement and refinement of humanity.

	Bagatellen: James Finn - Opening the Gates
		Dickey’s compartmentalized stick rolls eke out a choppy undercurrent and push the saxophonist into a rush of lambent upper register squeals.
		A strong logic underlies each of his solos and the team of Duval and Dickey respond to his concentrative delivery with responsive work of their own.
		Dickey gets things rolling on “Starlight Extensions” with a patented beat-parsing display; Duval holds similar cardinal clout on “Spinning Pyramids” plucking at his strings as if they were a nest of tautly stretched rubber bands.

	Whit dickey quartet - [Sunday Herald] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Dickey’s writing draws heavily from modes first established by Ornette Coleman, albeit filtered through the metal gospel of thinkers like Noah Howard and Frank Wright.
		Most tracks utilise plaintive, simultaneously stated themes as points from which to unravel from, with saxophonist Brown on particularly demolishing form, extrapolating the basic material way into space.
		But it’s Dickey’s game and he’s all over the place, knocking dents and curveballs into creeping notions of linear time and effectively exploding the dynamic at the merest hint of coasting.

	Whit Dickey
		To recap, Whit provided the trap-set foundation, pulse and flow to the deep classic sides Third Ear Recitation, Cryptology, DAO, Circular Temple, Flow of X, and Critical Mass (and Elsewhere by the Joe Morris Ensemble) during that time.
		In 1999, Whit moved from his long-time dwelling in Brooklyn to an enclave a couple of hours north of NYC, into the country.
		As with all of these Artists, but perhaps quite a bit more so in Whit's case, his full story remains to be told.
