Vade Mecum is an album by American jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon recorded in 1993 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick states "The expansiveness and airiness of the sound here is one of this record's most striking qualities.

"[2] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called "Anamorphosis" "one of Dixon's most thoughtful conceptions," and commented: "Inside almost all of Dixon's small group recordings there is a dark pressure, like the imprint of a much larger composition that has been denied full expression.

That is profoundly evident on Vade Mecum.
