Contours
by Sam Rivers
A stunning example of composer-led innovation in the post-bop era. 'Contours' features complex, through-composed works with constantly evolving themes and no standard repeating forms. This challenging and unpredictable structure demanded immense concentration and creativity from the all-star lineup. It's a pivotal work of the adventurous avant-garde, demonstrating how the very architecture of a song could be deconstructed and rebuilt into something entirely new.
