The album Contours by American saxophonist/composer Sam Rivers was recorded for Blue Note in 1965 following the album Fuschia Swing Song. The musicians joining Sam Rivers (tenor & alto sax and flute) are Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) and Joe Chambers (drums). Four vigorous and strong tracks composed by Sam Rivers, including "Point Of Many Returns" with a hard pop structure, "Dance Of The Tripedal" and "Euterpe," illustrate the sharp incisiveness of Sam's style. "Mellifluous Cacophony" mixes marvelous harmonies with beautiful dissonances. The presence of Sam Rivers' very personal style is key to the structure as well as the execution of this record session and emblemizes the crucial role that Rivers played in the mid-'60s as one of the leaders of the avant garde. Contours is a staggering record just in between avant garde and traditional jazz, featuring sounds from Hancock, Hubbard and Carter not heard on their other records from the same period. Pressed on finely-selected 180-gram vinyl.
