Rec. 1982 | Label: Soul Note | CD 1997
To date, this is the last known recording by master vibraphonist Walt Dickerson. From 1982, it presents the trailblazing malleteer at his pioneering finest, joined in melodic challenge and multiharmonic drive with fellow wayfarer Andrew Cyrille's simmering fire on drums, and the equally adventurous Sirone's puckish weavings on bass. Wonderfully polytonal and inescapably lyrical, the Soul Note album states its own case for Jazz that can embrace both deep, resonant tradition and devout, pertinent transition. Listen, as the quiet feel of soaring dynamics lift you into the whirlwind of "No Ordinary Man", Dickerson wasting no time in issuing the session's clarion call for conscientious focus. The trio's collective pulse shimmers with a swing all its own, dissolving meter into a broader time and space. "Good Relationship" (a slow-grinding revisit of an older classic, "Relativity"), and the Zen-conjured title selection suspends all sense of disbelief, as you hear the delightful play of creative song that we are constantly told cannot be done!!! The session's sole non-Dickerson selection emerges a whole new brew stirred in the poultice of the vibraphonist's questing groove. Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" cuts no slack and loses all jive, as Dickerson and friends pour it on, and bring it all home with a warming flourish. A look at the Philly Jazz website reveals that Dickerson (as of early December 2005) is still active, and still playing. That such a musical pioneer has not been accorded the respect of a new album for 25 years is, quite simply, a monumental disgrace. In a time where charlatans can front as messiahs of swing, and fusioneers continue to market their bloated cocktail as "the people's music", surely there's enough marketability for an authentic artist the caliber of Walt Dickerson. LIFE RAYS poses a particularly persuasive reason why such deserved recognition should not be held back for one moment longer. Amazon
