Album Notes & Community Reviews
A landmark live album recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival, 'Streams' consists of a single, continuous, 45-minute improvisation. The album is a tour de force of spontaneous creation, showcasing Sam Rivers's incredible virtuosity on multiple instruments and the telepathic interplay of his trio. It's a key document of the long-form, collective improvisation that was a hallmark of the 1970s avant-garde.
