We Say...
Among the most technically proficient artists the avant-garde has produced, reedist Sam Rivers did time in bands led by Miles Davis and Tony Williams before establishing himself as a prolific composer and recording artist in the ’60s. Rivers kept busy in the ’70s, switching mid-decade from Impulse to a steady procession of independent labels. He also became a focal point of New York’s burgeoning loft-jazz scene, housing concerts regularly in his home, which he dubbed Studio Rivbea. Waves, among the most potent records in Rivers’s catalogue, finds him working alongside bassist Dave Holland (a regular collaborator) and inventive percussionist Thurman Barker; Joe Daley, on baritone horn and tuba, is both a nimble sparring partner and a hefty rhythm-section reinforcement.

They Say...
An explosive late '70s set with underrated composer, multi-instrumentalist, and arranger Sam Rivers leading a strong quartet. While bassist and cellist Dave Holland and percussionist Thurman Barker merged to form a strong, challenging rhythm section, Rivers and Joe Daley, playing tuba and baritone horn, worked together to create instrumental dialogues in sequence. Their array of contrasting voicings, with Rivers on tenor and soprano sax and flute, makes for compelling listening.
