Description
Material from the "Why Not" Series - Until now unheard for nearly two decades - showcasing cutting edge jazz from the 1970'S. Walt Dickerson (1931 ? 2008) was a true original with a unique sound and distinctive approach to the vibraphone. Bursting onto the embryonic "free jazz" scene he made a real impact being voted "New Star of 1962" in the prestigious Down Beat critics poll. Recorded in 1975 in Philadelphia - Walt's distinctive melodic and rhythmic approach was complemented by his unique timbre created though the use of specially treated rubber mallets to produce a plush, warm and yet crisp sound. Featuring Chicago bassist Wilbur Ware and fellow Philadelphian Andrew Cyrille, creating a trio par excellence. Originally released on the "Why Not" label this album fell into obscurity until Candid Record's Alan Bates acquired the label in the late 1990s. In 2009 Candid bring these fantastic recordings back from the brink.
