Editor's info:
Vessel in Orbit presents the first new group music in over a decade from singular drummer-composer Whit Dickey. It is a richly melodic and deeply focused album, structural integrity and emotional resonance are paramount throughout.

Created together with the impeccable improvisers Mat Maneri on viola and pianist Matthew Shipp, each of these men has a lifetime commitment to creative music, and they share a musical relationship with one another that dates back decades. Dickey’s wonderfully inviting compositional structures provide fruitful platforms for
his esteemed colleagues and, par for his work as a leader, he cedes the spotlight to the collective as a whole. Wide-open listening and fluid expression abound here.

In the 90s, Whit Dickey was an elemental member in the groups of both David S. Ware and Matthew Shipp. His tremendous debut as a leader was Transonic (1998) followed by Life Cycle (which also featured Maneri & Shipp). He re-joined Shipp’s trio from 2007-12, and in 2015 appeared once again on the pianist’s beautiful tribute, To Duke.

This album also marks the welcome return of Mat Maneri to AUM
Fidelity, who was previously featured on the sublime A Cloud of Black Birds (1998) & Soul Search (2000) together with guitarist Joe Morris, as well as his own epic album production by the Maneri Ensemble, Going To Church (2002).

Since the mid-90s, Matthew Shipp has been perpetually proving his status as one of the most important, and perhaps the most singularly compelling, jazz pianists of the modern era. His work with AUM Fidelity dates to the label’s inception, most recently he has been featured on The Darkseid Recital (2014), his second stellar duet with alto saxophonist Darius Jones, and in duo with David S. Ware on
Live in Sant’Anna Arresi, 2004 – the second installment in AUM’s ongoing DSW Archive Series.
