Little-known jazz great Sam Rivers turns 84 today. His LPs on Blue Note Records like "Fuchsia Swing Song" (1964) and "Contours" (1965) comfortably straddle mainstream bebop and totally "out there" free jazz--a very hypnagogic experience to say the least (think Edgar Allan Poe). Haven't heard others use this term, but I tend to call this style "loose jazz"... not quite "free jazz" and definitely not hard bop but somewhere in the middle. Other LPs that achieve this state, I think, are Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" (1964) and Miles Davis' LPs "E.S.P." (1964), "Miles Smiles" (1966), "Sorcerer" (1967), and "Nefertiti" (1967).
This is the kind of jazz that keeps the baby but throws out the bath water. You can still play it for jazz novices without them running for the earplugs (like, say, Albert Ayler or Peter Brotzmann would do) but will probably cause a few raised eyebrows. Just like you can still make out the people in a Picasso but it can kinda make you go crosseyed.Little-known jazz great Sam Rivers turns 84 today. His LPs on Blue Note Records like... more
