"Vickers is Pensacola's jazz ambassador, historian and keeper of the flame. He is one of the founders of Jazz Pensacola — formerly Jazz Society of Pensacola — and served as the organization's volunteer executive director from 1986 to 2004. Now, he is the organization's director emeritus and is still a guiding force in Pensacola's compact — but healthy — jazz scene."  -- Troy Moon in Pensacola News Journal
