Sam Rivers Winds Of Manhattan
This recording captures the lively, late-career work emerging from the New York creative jazz scene. The engineering emphasizes a wide, natural space that lets the delicate weaving of brass and reeds resonate with significant clarity.
Each composition highlights the leader's ability to arrange for large wind groups. The ensemble acts as a single entity, moving through complex ideas with ease. It remains a focused project that relies on the deep, breathing chemistry of the players involved.
