Walt Dickerson - Four Classic Albums '2016

Tracks list

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 1960s and
by 1962 had won the Down Beat Critics 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 hadnt 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.
