A lack of high profile opportunities meant it was only word of mouth that alerted people to Rivers’ prodigious musical abilities. All this was to change in 1964 when, at the insistence of former Bostonian resident Anthony (Tony) Williams, he relocated to New York City. It wasn’t long before Rivers was hired to join The Miles Davis Quintet. This exq...
This album marks Rivers’ first studio appearance as leader. Recorded in December 1964, it features Tony Williams alongside another Bostonian legend, pianist Jaki Byard. What makes the session so successful is Rivers’ ability to marry traditional song form with intense group interplay which pushes the music into a modernist arena.
This 1965 recording marks the follow-up release (on Blue Note Records) to his 1964 debut. Featuring Rivers on a variety of woodwinds (tenor, soprano saxophones and flute), this session explores an array of advanced post-bop sensibilities. This approach has much in common with the mid-1960s Miles Davis Quintet, in which Rivers was fleetingly involve...
In contrast to the modernist approach of his previous two Blue Note releases, this 1966 recording focuses on seven standards from the Great American Songbookand features the many woodwinds of Rivers alongside a stellar rhythm section. What Rivers offers the listener here is a mixture of the playful, the lyrical and the radical, all presented with a...
This Bobby Hutcherson-led Blue Note album, recorded in 1965 features Rivers as a sideman in this Blue Note supergroup. Rivers leaves his mark all over this session, performing on tenor, soprano, flute and bass clarinet. The album covers a range of moods and compositional approaches that challenge the musicians into giving some of their most compell...
This 1970s release on Impulse Records features Rivers performing live in a number of different trio configurations. The relatively short duration of each track on the album are culled from longer performances that were the norm for Rivers during this period. These extended trio concert performances would feature Rivers moving from tenor to soprano,...
The British bassist Dave Holland led this ECM studio album recorded in 1972. It features Sam Rivers as a sideman alongside fellow US saxophonist Anthony Braxton. An absolute classic of the genre, this is essential listening for anyone interested in exploratory jazzof the 1970s. Performing on tenor and flute, Rivers’ presence is felt throughout the ...
This 1974 Impulse album documents the big band project that made up such an important part of Rivers’ musical career: The RivBea Orchestra. Musically speaking, this represents the summation of Rivers the composer and improviser. These six compositions were prepared over a period of a decade, with Rivers adding to the arrangements as and when new el...
This wonderful 1975 quartet recording on Black Saint Records features the playing and writing talents of Rivers alongside the US pianist Don Pullen. Each of them contributes two compositions, which largely explore the free jazz arena. However, the pair also display an ability to fuse this free playing approach with groove and bass vamps. Listen to ...
This all-star band put together by US bassist leader, Reggie Workman, features Rivers on tenor, soprano and flute. The 1993 album is another example of loose compositional frameworks, which act as springboards for free solo and collective ensemble playing. It’s an intriguing session, which moves from the fast swing ‘time no changes’ approach of ‘En...
Strangest Sam Rivers album ever - instead of the free-bop of his early works or the avant-garde jazz he is well-known for, Rivers plays four long fast-tempo funky pieces in a style one could expect from Sonny Sharrock or Ronald Shannon Jackson.
