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 it's 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 Grammy-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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 First Set: Part 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Part 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Part 3 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Part 4 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Part 5 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Second Set: Part 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Part 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Part 3 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Part 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Barry Altschul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432587898951,"sku":"18585261","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2032276.jpg?v=1747363944","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/sam-rivers-reunion-live-in-new-york","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
