I've had a couple of requests to repost this record. So here tis.
The vibes are cool, man. That's all they can be.They can swing. Oh, they can swing like a mother, but they always stay cool. Lionel Hampton was cool. Lionel Hampton was cool. Really cool. Bobby Hutcherson was cool. Probably the coolest of them all. But in between Dickerson showed 'em how to improvise.
These side long tracks sport a pair of drummers and not a horn to be seen!! I freaking love these kinds of lps. Not your standard line up but somehow that's OK. This stuff surely has influenced some of my favorite modern lps.
Grab a cool whiskey and watch the sun go down on these last days of summer. This could be your soundtrack.
1. Unity
2. High Moon
Walt Dickerson - vibes
Walter Davis, Jr. - piano
Andrew Cyrille drums
Edgar Bateman - drums
George Tucker - bass
The cover photo is of the 1978 vinyl reissue you are currently digging...or at least should be soon.

Yes, even though I did something stupid like get a job, I still visit when I can screw my head on straight! Was just playing some vibes recently so there must be something in the water. Very very much appreciated, Sir Gems! I am catching up for lost time and this record has vaulted to #1. Thank you profusely for posting this.
