Sun Ra & Walt Dickerson - Visions

180g audiophile vinyl reissue of a legendary duo recording by pianist/composer Sun Ra and vibrophonist Walt Dickerson.

Recorded in the summer of 1978 in Manhattan's C. I. Recording Studio this rare encounter of jazz's supreme instrumentalists and individualists Walt Dickerson (1928 - 2008) and Sun Ra (1914 - 1993) became an instant cult album among the followers of Avant Garde jazz of the '70s.

The author of the newly added liner notes Neil Tesser remarks, Nearly a half-century after the fact, Visions now stands as a milestone of free improvisation. Almost half a century ago Trevor Tolley of Canadian jazz publication Coda enthused, This is a tremendous record...outstanding collaborations throughout this beautiful record, as well as some gloriously sustained solo passages...it is the work of two masters in the full certainty of their powers.
