Elsewhere is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Morris which was recorded in 1996 and released on Homestead. The Joe Morris Ensemble features pianist Matthew Shipp's regular trio with bassist William Parker and drummer Whit Dickey. Morris and Shipp played together once with violinist Mat Maneri in Boston four or five years before.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states "Morris is highly compelling throughout, both in terms of technique and sonic creation." The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "Morris' dogged concentration on melody and his refusal to fall back on harmonic cushions and props is communicated to his three partners, all of whom also have a strong stake in this brand of ragged improvisation."
