To My Queen

A masterpiece of early '60s post-bop and a high point for vibraphonist Walt Dickerson. The album is renowned for its forward-thinking lineup, featuring the harmonically advanced piano of Andrew Hill and the complex, textural drumming of a young Andrew Cyrille. The music is lyrical, abstract, and deeply felt, a prime example of the adventurous, modal explorations happening just outside the mainstream during this fertile period.
