Michael Hugh Dixon

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I used to play duets with my dad. He on trumpet and myself on (French) horn. We did classical as well as swing styles. The swing ones were in 2 books called 'Jazz for Juniors' and 'Jazz for Seniors' and each had a bad pun for a title! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ellen Fullman - Change Of Direction Johnston: String Quartets No 2, 3, 4 & 9 / Kepler Quartet Duo Contour, Donald Bousted: 19.5 I have a fascination for just intonation and other microtonal music. Some of Ben Johnston's string quartets are sublime. I love the exquisite sounds of Ellen Fullman's Long String Instrument. I really admire what Duo Contour has done with microtones. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Of Fearlessness” I find the breadth of this piece satisfying, the sitting with the music as it unfolds in meditation. The layers interweaving and the rhythm that bursts into song.
