Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song - Blue Note Classic LP

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series — 180g LP, Mastered by Kevin Gray from the Original Master Tapes

A saxophonist of striking originality, Sam Rivers cut his astonishing debut Fuchsia Swing Song at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in 1964 with an extraordinary quartet of Tony Williams, Ron Carter, and Jaki Byard. Though a strong avant-garde undercurrent runs throughout, Rivers keeps a foot firmly in post-bop and the blues across this set of originals, including the fleet-footed title track and the stunning ballad "Beatrice," his most beloved composition. This Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
