I recently found a split LP of him and James Newton called Flutes! on Circle for a reasonable price in a local record store and picked it up on a whim. The first half, with Rivers, is absolutely great, really creative improvising, and possibly from the same session as the Tuba Trio recordings (which I think are also on Circle). The James Newton side is less to my taste. The record seems to have absolutely no presence online and I haven't had much success finding out anything about it.

I love this one. One of my favourite Verve records.
