		With Inspiration (RCA), his first big-band recording on an American label in 25 years, composer/saxophonist Sam Rivers achieves a grand synthesis of the orchestral jazz writing of the past half-century.
		Rivers maintains that each of the album's seven pieces is meant to last for 50 minutes -- which explains why some of the writing sounds a bit crowded.
		I found a lot of musicians; they were all avant-garde musicians and they weren't working anyway, so we started rehearsing thrice weekly at a place up on 137th Street in Harlem, and then at Rivbea [the new music loft that Rivers operated for most of the '70s].

		Rivers, can Sam come out and play ball?" and she'd say, "No, he's got to practice." So that went on for maybe a year or so, and then I got to the place where I liked it.
		TP: Sam Rivers and I were discussing his formative years in music, and we stopped in the early 1950's in Boston.
		One day he came in, and Sam said, "Tony, listen to this." Tony listened to it and he said, "Wow, what is the name of that?" He said, "I think I'll name it 'Beatrice.'" So that's how it came about.

		That Sam would involve himself in our band's projects, after all the things he has accomplished, is a great honor.

	Bagatellen: Sam Rivers/ Ben Street/ Kresten Osgood — Violet Violets
		Sam Rivers seems to share a similar viewpoint as reflected in the floral-themed titles of his past few albums.
		Sometimes polish can be a hindrance, particularly in the case of Rivers’ off-the-cuff and emotive style of improvising, which revels in visceral responsiveness rather than intellectual exactitude from his sidemen.
		Rivers reverence for little-known jazz lore comes out in a libertine reading of Ornette’s “Invisible.” The frothing energetic take, rife with surging salutary tenor, reminds me of how Frank Lowe might have approached the tune.

	The History of Jazz Music. Sam Rivers: biography, discography, review, links
		Arkansas-raised tenor saxophonists Sam Rivers (1923), who had studied at a conservatory of music, represented the highbrow alter-ego of Ornette Coleman's free jazz.
		Relocating in 1964 to New York, Rivers debuted with Fuchsia Swing Song (december 1964), featuring a quartet with teenage drummer Tony Williams, pianist Jaki Byard and bassist Ron Carter, that was poised halfway between hard bop and free jazz.
		Rivers struck an unlikely balance within each piece, particularly Luminous Monolith and Downstairs Blues Upstairs, that do not seem to belong any known genre except that they evoke everything from blues to swing to free.

	Sam Rivers : Crystals (Special Packaging) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Musically, this is the mature Sam Rivers speaking from the wide base of his knowledge as a composer, improviser, and conceptualist.
		Rivers has written some of the most complex music of his life here, allowing for short, poignant, and often strictly composed solos to complement the linear, contrapuntal structures that these towering compositions are.
		There is a massive centrifugal force at work in Rivers compositions here; and it pulls everything in, each dynamic stutter, legato phrase, ostinato whisper, and alteration in pitch in favor of what comes next.

		Orlando is a good place to remain hidden from the rest of the jazz world, and the Sam Rivers Trio and the Rivbea Orchestra have created a stunning body of work without much attention from anyone else.
		In 1991, Rivers was planning to leave the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet after four years and to move out of New York, but he wasn’t ready to retire.
		Rivers writes some beautiful melodies for his themes (“Beatrice,” for example, was already a jazz standard when it was reprised for Inspiration), but he often ties up those themes in knotty harmonies and plays them over grooves that range from crisp swing to bottom-heavy funk.

	Sam Rivers: Fuchsia Swing Song
		In the autumn of 1964 tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers spent two months on tour with the Miles Davis quintet.
		All the pieces here are Rivers compositions, with the most well-known being “Beatrice,” dedicated to his wife.
		Byard and Rivers are perfect for each other, as both are in complete command of their instruments and are aware of the traditions that other musicians have paved on them, but at the same time can propel those traditional sounds into the future.

	Sam Rivers, Adam Rudolph, Harris Eisenstadt, Vista
		Sam Rivers, now well past his 80th birthday, is a gaunt Giacometti sculpture of a man whose appetite for musicmaking remains almost fearsomely keen.
		Vista is a encounter between Rivers and the two-percussionist team of Adam Rudolph and Harris Eisenstadt, and the barebones situation – horn pitched starkly against tumultuous, heavyduty grooves – suits him admirably.
		Despite his multi-instrumentalism, Rivers is still best known as a tenor saxophonist, perhaps because of that one-of-a-kind lean-and-hungry tone.
