Yes!!! The World needs this more then ever. Too bad it's so under appreciated and under the radar. What a world.....
This is great Avant Jazz, for a more Post Bop fan like myself, this is quite accessible despite some rather freer moments. Don Pullen and Dave Holland are great, Walter Smith dido, their swing on that up tempo second number holding everything together. thanks fro sharing . The horn section is great. Thanks for sharing.
Dave Holland absolutely RULES, in his dual roles as accompanist bassist, AND a melodic/tonal center for the tunes. Definitely one of the best who has ever done it, as has been said. THE SPIRIT SCIENCE OF SUN RA, and others influences, is all over under around and through this, while maintaining Mr. Rivers' complete originality and vision. I keep thinking of Heiner Stadtler and his 'Brains on Fire' efforts from the 70s hearing this as well.
I can't believe I just found Sam Rivers last week. I heard Crystals, and was like "Hey, I heard that lick/passage on Surrender to the Air!"
An ensemble FULL of STARS! TIMELESS! I didn't need AI or facial recognition software to recognize all the cats from my younger years. It certainly was a sort of inverse blindfold test before looking at the session personnel list. That made me feel younger again, especially considering that the recent playing of this were first hearings, for me, from this period of the Rivbea Orchestra. It was as if no time had elapsed at all. Thanks again! Priceless.
I saw this orchestra at Kent State University in Ohio in 1979. Wonderful experience throughout. I had heard many of these musicians in small groups through the afternoon and then all together like this. Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Incredible show and outstanding lineup, no weak links here, all players are masters in their own right.
Sam Rivers had Studio RivBea where most of these players came up and his compositions are unbelievable.
The Sound!
HOLY SHIT
This is breathtaking, stunningly beautiful, powerful music of the highest level!
Damn

1979 was my birth year.

Thanks for the upload ! Great band. But very stoic start. Band @ crowd very serious ..not a very festive festival... Everyone was all miserable...
Music starts 2:25
c😁😁l !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if the pendulum swings both ways all significant aspects of our art should be represented in every decade. The relative absence of free/avant-garde jazz/music organized in similar ways in todays world is our loss 2023.
This is a serious get. Can anyone identify these compositions? Since Sam kept writing new works for Rivbea Orchestra, I don't recall hearing these compositions in the regular rotation post-NYC/NJ.
"Verve" is when the flute solo starts, which is on the ECM recording, "Contrasts" with a 4tet.
Certainly a brainfull of brainful ideas. I won't go into histories right now. Thanks for this!
amazing...not Olu Dara on trumpet...
Oliver Beamer trumpet
@@jodamusic correction will be in the 1st PDF update! 🙂
Genuine question for anyone -- What's on their music stands? Just a lead sheet? Were there harmonies written out for these guys?
Lots of very precise notation, written in overlapping layers - without the improvisations of course. Not easy music, very original. Sam was a ridiculous composer, whose compositions were completely original.
