when you've had a really really bad day

a generous helping of sam rivers(any flavor) is unbelievably beautiful

[Man with the Golden Arm]

yes, I had a triple scoop of "Downstairs Blues...", one on top of the other, while driving around this weekend.

Same flavor, I know, but each wtih different sprinkles and jimmees.

wkcr is going to do a full week of sam in a week or so, and i'm not sure that will be enough.

(that is 6.75 days of phil schaap talking and a couple hours of rivbea played twice.)

I just downloaded Aurora by Sam Rivers' Riv-Bea Orchestra. Still getting in to it. Sounds a lot like Culmination and Inspiration - lots of abstract melodies and tight charts played over a funky rhythm section. Nice to see his Orlando group being recorded.

And not to forget the DVD of his trio in performance on 'home turf' at 'the other site'.
