Sun Ra: Piano
Walt Dickerson: Vibraphone

Editor's Info:
Sun Ra had first worked as a session musician with vibraphonist Walt Dickerson in late 1965 or early 1966 on the album IMPRESSIONS OF A PATCH OF BLUE, issued by MGM Records under the name The Walt Dickerson Quartet. Rounding out the foursome with Dickerson and Ra were occasional Arkestra members Bob Cunningham (bass) and Roger Blank (drums). The set was an interpretation of Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack for the film "A Patch of Blue," but it was not the actual film soundtrack. The album was produced by the legendary Tom Wilson, who had produced what some consider Ra's debut, JAZZ BY SUN RA, on Wilson's short-lived Transition label, in 1957.
Dickerson performed in concert with Sun Ra's Arkestra on at least two known New York dates, one in 1977, the other in 1986. In the interim the two collaborated on this one-off duet album for the Danish label Steeplechase; it was recorded in 1978 and released in 1979.
The compositions are by Dickerson, though the musicians share equal billing on the cover. The recording location was not listed on the album. Some sources indicate that the album was recorded in Denmark, but Ra discographers Robert L. Campbell and Christopher Trent are confident it was recorded in New York.

This was not the first time Dickerson and Ra had recorded together; producer Tom Wilson had used the duo on the soundtrack of the 1966 film Impressions on a Patch of Blue.

This was their first extended series of duo improvs, however, and each seems to know exactly when to let the other hog the spotlight for a while, as during the moment toward the end of the opening "Astro," when Dickerson lays out and lets Ra .......
