Rivers moved to Boston to study at the Boston Conservatory and eventually met and began performing with, the drummer \u003cstrong\u003eTony Williams,\u003c\/strong\u003e who was barely a teenager at the time. Williams would open several doors for Rivers, including recommending him for what would be a short stint in the \u003cstrong\u003eMiles Davis Quintet\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also bringing Rivers to the attention of Blue Note’s \u003cstrong\u003eAlfred Lion\u003c\/strong\u003e. Williams featured Rivers on his Blue Note debut \u003cem\u003eLife Time\u003c\/em\u003e in 1964, which led to Rivers’ appearance on organist \u003cstrong\u003eLarry Young\u003c\/strong\u003e’s album \u003cem\u003eInto Somethin’\u003c\/em\u003e before the saxophonist was offered his own recording deal with Blue Note. A month later, Rivers was in \u003cstrong\u003eRudy Van Gelder\u003c\/strong\u003e’s studio recording his astonishing debut album \u003cem\u003eFuchsia Swing Song\u003c\/em\u003e with an extraordinary quartet featuring Williams, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eRon Carter\u003c\/strong\u003e, and pianist \u003cstrong\u003eJaki Byard\u003c\/strong\u003e. Although a strong avant-garde undercurrent flowed through his music, Rivers kept a foot planted firmly in post-bop and the blues on this impressive set of his originals, including the fleet-footed title track, the hard-charging “Downstairs Blues Upstairs,” and the stunning ballad “Beatrice,” which remains Rivers’ most beloved composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuchsia Swing Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDownstairs Blues Upstairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyclic Episode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuminous Monolith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeatrice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEllipsis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sam Rivers","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":44858162839743,"sku":"BST-84184-BK","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/0602448595638.jpg?v=1773434666","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/sam-rivers-fuchsia-swing-song-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series-lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
