Recorded live on April 4, 1981.

A quintessential favorite. This is a Sam Rivers live set at Jazz Unité, Paris, France 1981. This one hits it just right. It's the kind of cerebral funk that I can listen to repeatedly on different levels. I can play it for non-jazz aficionados before dinner, or I can concentrate on it through headphones. I think this is the type of Sam Rivers playing that inspired Steve Coleman's ideas for M-base.

This CD has some great Rivers playing--tenor, soprano, flute, and piano. I would have given it 4/5 stars if it weren't for the fact that the tunes are faded out on several tracks, and as a result we never hear a solo from guitarist Jerry Byrd. I find this rather annoying and frustrating. Nevertheless, it is rewarding to hear Rivers in this piano-less quartet setting.
