Product Details ＋

AVID Jazz continues its Four Classic album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by vibraphonist, Walt Dickerson, complete with original artwork and liner notes. 'This Is Walt Dickerson'; 'Sense Of Direction'; 'Relativity' and 'To My Queen' Vibraphonist, Walt Dickerson crashed onto the jazz scene in the early 1960's and by 1962 had won the Down Beat Critic's Poll for Best Newcomer. By then he had recorded the four albums featured on our double CD. He would go on to make more classic albums in the mid-sixties before apparently leaving the jazz scene for a decade, returning again in 1975. Although considered a musician of the post-bop era, Walt Dickerson was one of the few vibraphonists playing in the emerging early free jazz scene. In fact if he hadn't taken the time off he would probably be up there with the likes of the great Bobby Hutcherson who was considered the finest vibes player of his generation. Musicians joining Walt on our four selections include the great Andrew Hill on piano, Andrew Cyrille, Austin Crowe, George Tucker and Ahmed Abdul Malik.
