The composer and saxophonist Sam Rivers leads a cast of like-minded souls in a set of energetically dissonant jazz that frequently takes off in avant-garde directions, yet remains consistently involving. Pieces like the breakneck "Exultation," with its massed soloing led by Rivers' Pied Piper soprano, contrast with the funky street-beat of "Tranquility," and Rivers uses the tonal colors of his band like a Jackson Pollock painting, threaded through with his nimble solos.

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible.

DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item.  If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.  ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***
