I was lucky to meet Mr. Dickenson in the Eddie Condon Club in New York, where he played with Roy Eldridge and the Hungarian born Joe Muranyi. Vic Dickenson is one of the greatest talents of jazz history with fantastic technics and melodic sensitivity. He playes the trombone as Buck Clayton playes the trumpet. I am very proud that we played together the St. Louis Blues and after that he invited me a beer.

Another of the considerable number of jazz greats who deserved more recognition than they got.
"As comfortable as your favorite pair of slippers" is how one writer described Vic Dickenson's trombone work.
