Dickerson, Walt & Sun Ra – “Visions” – [Steeplechase Productions]

Cousin Mary   5/7/2014   CD, Jazz

1978 recording featuring the duo of vibraphone virtuoso Walt Dickerson with Sun Ra on piano. The tracks were composed by Dickerson, but sound highly improvised. There is none of the silly Space is the Place stuff here – this is a stunning collaboration between two excellent players. This interview with Dickerson includes a bit where he talks about working with Sun Ra: http://darkforcesswing.blogspot.com/2008/05/rip-walt-dickerson.html
