Considerations 1972–1976

Considerations 1972–1976, Volumes 1 and 2, is a pair of live albums by trumpeter and composer Bill Dixon. They were recorded during 1972 to 1976, a period during which Dixon was teaching at Bennington College and was, in his own words, "in total isolation from the market places of this music." Released in 1981 by the Italian Fore label, the recordings help to document the gap between the 1967 album Intents and Purposes and the Soul Note albums of the early 1980s.

Volume 1 features two trios, along with three solo works, two of which were later released on Odyssey: Solo Works (2001). Volume 2 features another solo work, a composition for trumpet and orchestra, a duo for trumpet and drums, and a chamber work.
