Sam Rivers Quartet (with Anthony Braxton) - Live San Francisco 1978

Following on from that great Circle recording that Tantris posted, here's another Braxton collaboration.

2 (cuts in) [30:28]

Some high energy stuff from both reedsmen. Interesting to compare playing styles. Some great tuba work from Daley, almost makes Holland redundant.

I think I got this from bigozine a couple of years ago, so some of you will have it. My version is only at a modest 192 kbps, but I see it's just been seeded on dime, so there's where to go if you need an upgrade. It is a radio broadcast, one or two glitches in the recording. Thanks to original taper.

    Dear Boromir

    thanks for posting this great gig on Sam Rivers ( one of the most underrated sax by many people )with the amazing Anthony Braxton.

    Any chance for more post on Sam Rivers' OOP recordings?

    Anyway, thanks a lot for this wonderful music! You made my weekend with that.

    best regards,

    Enrique :)

    Funny how things go... One day before this post, this was uploaded to Dime in a cleaned-up and slightly improved version (obviously from the same basic source). Perhaps someone is interested.
    But more importantly: I don't know how to thank you enough for this incredible blog!
