Other Dimensions In Music is the self-titled debut album by free jazz collective quartet Other Dimensions In Music, composed of trumpeter Roy Campbell, multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, bassist William Parker and drummer Rashid Bakr. It was recorded in studio in 1989 and released on the Swedish Silkheart label. In the liner notes of the album, Campbell claims "We represent the sum total of the musical masters who played before us and presently". Meanwhile, Parker says that "the music on this album is defined by the strictest rules of beauty, each sound is ordered and cured with the energy of ancient spirits. The same spirits that guided John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Bud Powell." The CD edition adds two bonus tracks.
In his review for AllMusic, Charlie Wilmoth states "Despite their involvement with the downtown New York avant-jazz crowd, multi-reedist Daniel Carter, trumpeter Roy Campbell, and bassist William Parker probably play in a pensive, straightforward manner just as often as they play free."The Penguin Guide to Jazz states that in comparation with the next album "the record feels unfocused and often ragged."
