To my queen,
By Randy Hersom (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To My Queen (Audio CD)
An absolute classic. Walt Dickerson always manages to draw sensitive and inspired playing out of his bassists and George Tucker plays the best session of his life. Andrew Hill and Andrew Cyrille complete the excellent rhythm section. Adventurous but never angry, modern jazz that sounds great in the background but more than bears up to close and repeated listening.

One of the Seminal Recordings of the Early '60s,
By David Dann (davidann@catskill.net) (Catskills, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To My Queen (Audio CD)
"To My Queen," (1962), Dickerson's fourth recording for the Prestige label's New Jazz imprint, features the vibes player in a quartet setting (not a trio, as indicated by Amazon's listing). The adventurous band includes Chicago pianist Andrew Hill, bassist George Tucker and the great Andrew Cyrille on drums (one of his frst recordings). The set is remarkable for its title composition which runs for 20 minutes and is episodic in its compositional scale; there is nothing else in modern jazz like it. Dickerson was at this time just beginning to exhibit the influence of John Coltrane; he remains to this day the leading example of the Coltrane ethos in his approach to improvisation. This is a must-have recording for all serious jazz enthusiasts!

Having beeen one whoi we lost in 2009...The King,
By
This review is from: To My Queen (Audio CD)
Well if not THE KING he was one of the kings on Vibes in a a post Milt Jackson world.And this is his masterpiece.Much of his latter stuff is also very good and adventurous but here he catches a perfect sound between hard bop and the "new thing".I think David got it right here.If asked for a big band vibe favorite I would go latine with the "Swingin' Swede" Cal Tjader on "Saul Sauce" but for a small group this LP and Bobby Hutcherson's "Oblique" are my favorites.Not everything Walt Dickerson did on his extensive Steeplechase recoding was as good but they are worth checking out (I like his Walt Dickerson 1976 released on Whynot).But "To My Queen" and his recoding of the soundtrack "A Touch Of Blue" are the most famous pieces he did this being the best.RIP WaltChazzz
