"Impressions of a Patch of Blue" is an album by vibraphonist Walt Dickerson with Sun Ra as a sideman. It is the last album Dickerson recorded before his decade long sabbatical from jazz before his comeback in the mid-1970s. The album is relatively mainstream considering the work of the contributing musicians. An interesting detail though, is that Sun Ra plays the harpsichord which is rare in jazz; Roger Kellaway (on a Ben Webster album in 1964) and John Lewis are perhaps the only other jazz musicians to have played it.
