Sam Rivers: Contours LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)
Blue Note, 1967
Saxophonist & flautist Sam Rivers followed up his striking debut "Fuchsia Swing Song" with the tremendous album Contours. The quintet explored four of Rivers' engaging original compositions - "Point of Many Returns" "Dance of the Tripedal" "Euterpe" & "Mellifluous Cacophony" - with a profound spirit of freedom and innovation while keeping a foot firmly planted in Post-Bop. A beautifully clean recording by Rudy Van Gelder gives this album an ageless quality.
