Recorded in the summer of 1978 in Manhattan's C. I. Recording Studio this rare encounter of jazz's supreme instrumentalists and individualists Walt Dickerson (1928 - 2008) and Sun Ra (1914 - 1993) became an instant cult album among the followers of Avant Garde jazz of the 70s. The author of the newly added liner notes Neil Tesser remarks, "Nearly a half-century after the fact, Visions now stands as a milestone of free improvisationAlmost half a century ago Trevor Tolley of Canadian jazz publication CODA enthused, "This is a tremendous record... outstanding collaborations throughout this beautiful record, as well as some gloriously sustained solo passages... it is the work of two masters in the full certainty of their powers."
