Emergence is an album by American jazz drummer Whit Dickey recorded in 2009 and released on the Polish Not Two label.

Reception

The All About Jazz by John Sharpe states "It is Yamamoto who provides the best entry point, as she is not afraid to inject structure into the understated free form with her strong rhythmic foundation and bluesy intonation... Dickey is a master of multiple and implied rhythms, shifting in and out of time to a point that a dreamlike quality pervades the music, compounded by his richly detailed touches, making full use of space for dramatic effect."
