{"product_id":"reunion-live-in-new-york","title":"REUNION: LIVE IN NEW YORK","description":"A historically important new release, Sam Rivers Reunion: Live in New York features the reunion of octogenarian saxophonist\/flutist\/pianist Rivers with his groundbreaking trio of two-time Grammy Award winner Dave Holland on bass and Barry Altschul on drums. The venerated band was a mainstay at Rivers Studio RivBea the most famous venue during the loft jazz movement of the 1970s and was well-known for it's marathon fully-improvised concerts. Their powerful rapport gives no hint of the fact that they had not played together in 25 years when this concert took place in 2007. In a musical career that spanned more than 50 years, Rivers played with such disparate musicians as Miles Davis, T-Bone Walker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Cecil Taylor. He is best known for his heralded albums on Blue Note and Impulse!, and two Grammy-nominated big band recordings for RCA. The Rivers\/Holland\/Altschul trio, though revered in jazz circles, recorded rarely, and those out-of-print records are highly sought-after by collectors. Unfortunately, Rivers did not live to see the release of this CD; he passed away on December 26, 2011.","brand":"PI RECORDINGS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52030506959128,"sku":"808713004526","price":20.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2032276.jpg?v=1778049011","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/reunion-live-in-new-york","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
