Bebop wouldn’t have happened with Minton’s or the 52nd Street clubs; the creative ferment of the 70’s was dependant on lofts like Studio Rivbea and Ali’s Alley; the 80’s and 90’s downtown scene was centered on the Knitting Factory.
Firehouse 12’s performance room also doubles as a state-of-the-art recording studio, which offers another useful convenience and tool for the musician to record live and in studio.
But in all seriousness, by combining a good venue, a good studio, and a good hang in one place, and by combining that with a new record label, Firehouse 12 has the potential to become an important home, a real physical space, for creative music.

Part of the reason is his dutiful stewardship during the 1970s of Studio RivBea, an important center for contemporary jazz, but one suspects also a drain on Rivers' creative resources.
He soon recorded two classic albums for Blue Note, two more with Tony Williams, ran the Studio Rivbea on Bond St. during mid-to-late seventies and recorded a number of classic avant jazz gems with his trios (Dave Holland and Barry Altschul at first) and various big bands.
One of his first studio gigs was as sideman with Fred Anderson on the Chicago tenor’s belated debut The Missing Link (Nessa) back in 1979.

He ran a performance space in the ‘70s in NYC called Studio Rivbea, has been at the core of the avant-garde for three decades and has now reached the grand old age of 81.
The Queen Elizabeth Hall is packed and in the moments before the lights dim the weathered faces and careful steps of the old guard are notable alongside more than a smattering of the slender and youthful.
As he plays he dances with just a little shake, a little wriggle and the effect of music and movement is decidedly funky.

From the late '60s through the late '70s, Rivers ran Studio RivBea in New York.
Originally intended for teaching and rehearsals, Studio RivBea evolved into a vibrant performance space for avant-garde music when musicians such as Oliver Lake and the Art Ensemble began giving concerts there because there were few other places in New York that welcomed their performances.
According to Rivers, the studio filled such an obvious vacuum that the New York State Council on the Arts, on its own initiative, provided funding to support its activities.

Studio Rivbea's Spring Music Festival 1976 could not be considered an unqualified success, since the atmosphere lent by the circumstances of the open recording session and long delays between sets seemed excessive and may have been responsible for the less than fully inspired performances given by several of the groups.
A few days before Rivers made the record, I visited him at Studio Rivbea, and he said something that might serve as his credo, if he believed in such things: "You can come out here and be an intuitive musician and be really happening, but your dreams and visions won't last forever.
