SAM RIVERS TUBA TRIO & EARL CROSS SEXTET "JAZZ OF THE SEVENTIES" (CIRCLE RECORDS, 1973/76)







Some weeks ago I relistened to Noah Howard's "Black Ark" - again Earl Cross impressed me with his wonderful playing.
I started a reasearch about reccordings with/from Mr.Cross - there are very few and less are available.
Thanks to W. who kindly borrowed me this LP we are now able to enjoy one of the rare appearances of the trumpet/fluegelhorn player extraordinaire: Earl Cross!

As a "bonus" the LP contains a song of Sam Rivers Tuba Trio....three LPs from a concert at the Bimhuis were released on the german (Cologne) lable Circle - this is not the concluding track.
For "Essence XI" we would need "Sam Rivers/James Newton - Flutes" also on Circle Records...

Does anyone have the first three LPs?

    Onx: Yes, I have the original 3LP's of Sam Rivers' Tuba Trio - "The Heat and Warmth of Free Jazz" on the Circle label. Again, I posted them on C#9 some 5 years ago, but I agree they are due for a repost in flac. I'll make a note to do it.

    That would be great - thank you in advance glmlr!

    Maybe I can get the Rivers/Newton on Circle - then we would have the complete Tuba Trio concert...

    Hi Paul W - thank you very much!

    I try to find the last part as well - i.e. a split LP between Rivers and James Newton.

    Unbelievable! I thought that this Earl Cross' album is lost for ever. I also dug for it without success for decades.
    This could be the find of the year, at least as I am concerned. Thanks a million, onxidlib.

    Some nice pictures of these cats can be found here
