Sam Rivers : Fuschia Swing Song ( 180g Classic Vinyl Series)

A saxophonist of striking originality, Sam Rivers arrived fully formed on his debut album ‘Fuchsia Swing Song’, recorded for Blue Note in 1964. Though 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 originals including his stunning ballad ‘Beatrice.’
