Reunion: Live in New York

A historically important new release, Sam Rivers
Reunion: Live in New York features the reunion of
octogenarian saxophonist/flutist/pianist Rivers with
his groundbreaking trio of two-time Grammy AwardÂ®
winner Dave Holland on bass and Barry Altschul on
drums. The venerated band was a mainstay at Rivers
Studio RivBea the most famous venue during
the loft jazz movement of the 1970s and was
well-known for its marathon fully-improvised
concerts. Their powerful rapport gives no hint of
the fact that they had not played together in 25
years when this concert took place in 2007.
In a musical career that spanned more than 50
years, Rivers played with such disparate musicians
as Miles Davis, T-Bone Walker, Dizzy Gillespie,
and Cecil Taylor. He is best known for his heralded
albums on Blue Note and Impulse!, and two
GrammyÂ®-nominated big band recordings for RCA.
The Rivers/Holland/Altschul trio, though revered
in jazz circles, recorded rarely, and those out-of-print
records are highly sought-after by collectors.
Unfortunately, Rivers did not live to see the release
of this CD; he passed away on December 26, 2011.
