7/4

Buck Teeth Invisalign. No more ugly teeth.

I have a VHS tape of this gig, which I recorded off the TV when it was broadcast at the time. It's pretty good, musically. For Sam, it was just another gig; at one point, during someone else's solo, you can see him in the background yawning very deeply. I was wondering about the band with Rivers, Braxton, Holland and Joe Daley. I heard the band broke up because Beatrice Rivers had an argument with Braxton...called him a control freak. Any thoughts folks? I think that was a one-off, a concert in 1978. Rivers and Braxton played together in Holland's group in 1972 and 1974. "That group played some concerts together, but the contrasting approaches of Braxton and Rivers proved incompatible." See http://www.bb10k.com/RIVERS.disc.html#76.00.00 I may even have that copy of the Wire that quote is from. Thanks.

One of Sam's daughters was very involved with his career, and I suspect she'll want to keep the legacy going. Wasn't there talk at one time of a Mosaic box of tapes from Studio Rivbea? Man, that would be nice. A Sam Rivers Impulse Mosaic would be real nice too.

With Beatrice and Sam gone, I wonder if the estate would be interested in releasing anything in the future. Just wondering, I hope it isn't too early to talk about it.

When I get up in the morning I'll be listening to John Coltrane - Live in Japan. Peace on Earth.

Have a safe and Happy New Ear folks.

Yes so true. Wynton Marslais was on the station the other day picking the best jazz releases in 2011. Of cause his release with Clapton was picked. Not too much to say about Wynton. Sometimes it's the only Jazz in the area when I'm on the road. I hope the new antenna will mean I can get it way out on LI, North of Stamford and North of mile marker 42 on the NY Thuway.

I'm enjoying JS Bach/Sax Allemande - Goldberg Variations (transcription for sax qt) on the road this morning, it'll get another spin when I hit the road to go home later (soon).

Sad news in the middle of the night, I'm hours from home. I've been thinking about Sam lately, I'll have to dig out everything I own this week and listen to it...WKCR is in the middle of Bach fest, so probably no memorial broadcast until after new years. RIP Sam Rivers.

Maybe some folks have heard the music before, but this video is new. Xouoxno 3 .

Hmm, somehow I didn't picture you looking like that. I know...I stay trim by drumming everyday.

I live by myself, I can do whatever I want.

Not only does this link still work, I can still download the free Varèse Poème Électronique ringtone courtesy of ICE. Enjoy!
