Sam Rivers Artist Snapshot:

Oklahoma-born sax giant Sam Rivers started his career on the Boston jazz scene in the late 1940s, playing with Jaki Byard and others. In the mid-'60s he finally broke through as a major player, mostly due to his work with Miles Davis. Besides becoming an in-demand sideman for the likes of Cecil Taylor and Bobby Hutcherson, he began an important solo career that mated an avant-garde free-jazz approach with a more rooted, blues-influenced sensibility. Rivers outlasted many of his peers, and was still active and vital into the 21st century.

Title Note

Personnel: Sam Rivers (tenor saxophone); Jaki Byard (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Tony Williams (drums).

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on December 11, 1964. Originally released as BST (84184). Includes liner notes by Nat Hentoff.

With the almost telepathic support of his longtime associates, the pianist Jaki Byard, the drummer Tony Williams, and the bassist Ron Carter, the composer and saxophonist Sam Rivers guides his instrument through a succession of inventive improvisations on this mid-1960s album, recorded around the same time he joined Miles Davis's band.
