Item Description

These vinyl records are a very cool find.
Some are JAZZ CLASSICS, while others are very obscure, modern classics.

These albums were stored in a garage since the 1980's by a jazz and classical music aficionado who barely played his albums. As such, they are in NEAR MINT-MINT playing condition. I purchased a turntable just to be able to listen to them and they sound SUPERB!

Condition:
Album Jacket: VG
Records: NM-MINT
Label: 1966 Blue Note
BST 184249

That ability to stay artistic and still communicate with the audience is what makes A New Conception such a pithy example of what Rivers is all about. With tenor, soprano sax, and flute in hand, he performs a resourceful set of standards and leaves a new stamp on them without altering their original intent dramatically. Pianist Hal Galper makes a strong showing here, as does drummer Steve Ellington, who would later go on to play a role in Dave Holland's '80s quintet.

Thank you for stopping by.

Samuel Carthorne Rivers (born September 25, 1923, in El Reno, Oklahoma) is an American jazz musician and composer. He performs on soprano and tenor saxophones, bass clarinet, flute, harmonica and piano.

Active in jazz since the early '50s, Rivers earned wider attention during the mid-'60s spread of free jazz. With a thorough command of music theory, orchestration and composition, Rivers has been an influential and prominent artist in jazz music.

Rivers's music is rooted in bebop, but he is an adventurous player, adept at free jazz. The first of his Blue Note albums, Fuchsia Swing Song, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of an approach sometimes called "inside-outside". The performer frequently obliterates the explicit harmonic framework ("going outside") but retains a hidden link so as to be able to return to it in a seamless fashion. Rivers brought the conceptual tools of bebop harmony to a new level in this process, united at all times with the ability to "tell a story" which Lester Young had laid down as a benchmark for the jazz improviser.
