David Ayers Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 And it’s not all about reissues. I’m loving this one from Sabu Toyozumi and Mats Gustafsson Quote

The info about 8 releases I got from Danas before the first CD in the series was released. Maybe the schedule has changed or my memory is false. I have regular contact with Danas businesswise since at least 10 or 11 years . And since 2015 we've producing reissues together on No Business. However - you could be right. We haven't communicated about the Sam Rivers' CDs except that I believe they contain simply great music. Edit - now I found another source for the eight CDs. See a review at No Business website by Bill Shoemaker and here , similar infos on Squidcos's website, etc... Edited March 2, 2021 by Onxidlib Quote
Pim Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Then I was probably wrongly informed. I hope so for I could use another 4 of these discs. I am really amazed by the constant quality of these series. Edited March 2, 2021 by Pim Quote
Pim Posted June 28, 2021 Report Posted June 28, 2021 Just when I was about to ask hear if anybody knew when the series would be continued I discovered volume 5 on SoundOhm: Volume 5 I don't really know the other guys from the band. Anyone else does? Quote

Ellington picked up drums when he was four years old and played with Ray Charles when he was nine. In the latter half of the 1950s he played with Charles Brown, George Adams, and Duke Pearson. Quote
Niko Posted June 28, 2021 Report Posted June 28, 2021 Jerry Byrd is mostly known from organ bands I guess (Gene Ludwig, Don Patterson)... there is also already an existing album (Crosscurrent) with that lineup on Futura/Marge which can be found on spotify Quote
jlhoots Posted June 28, 2021 Report Posted June 28, 2021 Steve Ellington was also the drummer on the Hampton Hawes album, Green Leaves Of Summer. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 28, 2021 Report Posted June 28, 2021 Steve Ellington was also on two of Sam River' Blue Note titles. Quote

Pim Posted September 27, 2021 Report Posted September 27, 2021 Volume 5 is another succes but I have to say that, just like 4, the sound is way worse than the first three releases. Not necessarily the most important thing but it does temper my enthusiasm a bit. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 28, 2021 Report Posted September 28, 2021 sound sucks, interesting music though. Quote

Not necessarily the most important thing but it does temper my enthusiasm a bit. I was initially very disappointed with Vol 4 having got used to the sonic excellence of Vols 1-3. Having listened to Vol 4 repeatedly I can easily get past the deficiencies of the recording to enjoy the music which is very fine indeed. Vol 5 remains unopened but now I know not to have high expectations of the sound quality. Quote

Pim Posted January 5, 2023 Report Posted January 5, 2023 http://nobusinessrecords.com/archive-series-sam-rivers-5lp-box-set.html The LP box is upcoming with some stuff that wasn't released before. I stick to my cd's. The first four volumes are among Rivers' finest work. The last two were okay and the sound of volume 5 really sucks. Quote

Probably not worth it for me. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 5, 2023 Report Posted January 5, 2023 oh, yeah that's not so interesting to me... I had thought the box would be entirely material that hadn't already been issued. Oh well! Quote

Don’t snooze on it if you’re just going to kick yourself later.” —NPR music critic Kevin Whitehead, at pointofdeparture.org “I have never encountered anything approaching the obsessive thoroughness demonstrated by Lopez. ... A testament to Rivers’ enduring music and his invaluable role as incubator/advocate/on the bandstand educator. ... Lopez’s infectious enthusiasm proves hard to resist.” —Peter Margasak, The WIRE @thewiremagazine "Rick Lopez’ remarkable Sam Rivers Sessionography: A Work in Progress ... masterfully sums up Rivers’ lengthy and productive career. ... A formidable document. ... Clearly sets the standard for any future work in this format." —Robert Iannapollo, ARSC Journal “A Rosetta Stone of insight, and a well-deserved and worthy tribute to an overlooked giant of the music.” —Taylor Ho Bynum "I got my copy of Rick Lopez's magnificent "The Sam Rivers Sessionography: A Work in Progress" ...
