Description
An audio recording of "Firestorm," composed by Sam Rivers (1923-2011) and performed by the Sam Rivers Trio live on-air on WUCF-FM on December 11, 2001. Rivers was a jazz multi-instrumentalist and composer from Oklahoma, who helped popularize free jazz and avant-garde jazz. Rivers was briefly a member of the Miles Davis Quintet before going on to lead his own groups and perform as a sideman with a number of artists. Rivers and his wife, Bea Rivers, opened a public jazz loft known as Studio Rivbea in the 1970s in Lower Manhattan in New York City, New York. The couple moved to Orlando, Florida, in the early 1990s, where Rivers continued to perform with his Orchestra and Trio. This incarnation of the Sam Rivers Trio included the rhythm section from his Rivbea All-Star Orchestra: bassist Doug Mathews and drummer Anthony Cole. "Firestorm" would be recorded and released on the 2007 Sam Rivers album of the same name.
