Sam Rivers Trio: 1979

The 1979 Sam Rivers recording Contrasts has just been reissued on vinyl by ECM. On this clip, recorded that year in Germany, the telepathy and subtle virtuosity of that group – here, Sam’s tenor saxophone, with Dave Holland’s bass and Thurman Barker on drums – is in compelling evidence.
