This Is Walt Dickerson! is the groundbreaking debut album by American jazz vibraphonist and composer Walt Dickerson, recorded on March 7, 1961, at Van Gelder Studio and released later that year by New Jazz. Renowned for its innovative approach and expressive intensity, the album not only introduced Dickerson's highly individual style to the jazz world but also established his reputation as a forward-thinking musician. Blending lyrical compositions with bold improvisation, Dickerson's debut album is celebrated as a significant contribution to post-bop jazz and marked the beginning of a remarkable recording career..
