''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' is an album by American jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon, which was recorded in 2008 and released on Firehouse 12 Records. The triple disc set includes two audio CDs of specially commissioned original music plus a documentary film featuring interviews and session footage.〔(''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' ) at Firehouse 12〕 The small orchestra is a nine-piece group with personnel drawn, for the most part, from the large ensemble that recorded ''17 Musicians in Search of a Sound: Darfur'' a year before. ==Reception== The ''Down Beat'' review by Bill Shoemaker states "''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' is the most persuasive, comprehensive case for Bill Dixon’s iconic status since ''November 1981'' and perhaps even his 1966 landmark orchestra album, ''Intents and Purposes.''〔Shoemaker, Bill. ''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' review. ''Down Beat'' February 10: page 56. Print.〕 The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states "Each track is a treasure trove of cohesive detail executed to wonderful effect. While full explication is beyond the scope of this review, this is essential listening for anyone interested in the state of contemporary jazz orchestration."〔Sharpe, John. (''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' review ) at All About Jazz〕 In a review for the BBC Bill Tilland claims "The music defies classification and is sometimes ‘difficult’, but Dixon’s academic sensibilities are clearly energised by a soulful, passionate aesthetic."〔Tilland, Bill. (''Tapestries for Small Orchestra'' review ) at BBC〕 The ''JazzTimes'' review by Chris Kelsey states "Dixon takes full advantage of the sound-making possibilities inherent in the grouping, and his manner of combining tonal shapes parallels his visual art."〔Kelsey, Chris.
