Relativity is an album led by vibraphonist and composer Walt Dickerson which was recorded in 1962 and released on the New Jazz label.
[1][2] The Allmusic reviewer stated: "If there is a flaw with Relativity, it's that it doesn't have quite the same spark of revelation as Dickerson's first two albums; critics were beginning to identify his brief note clusters and stop-start phrasing as stylistic trademarks, and aside from the duet with Abdul-Malik, the record doesn't really push Dickerson's sound into new territory.
Still, taken independently of context, Relativity is another fine recording and one of the better pieces of Dickerson's underappreciated legacy".
[3] Down Beat reviewer Don DeMichael wrote: "This third Dickerson album, like the first two, offers excitement, emotional experience, and music of high quality.
...this is a very good album and is heartily recommended for the sometime electrifying emotion Dickerson is able to generate.
