(Included in this Limited Edition Blue Note compilation is the only album I recorded with Sam "A New Conception""...radical standards album..." Steve Huey-All Music Guide)
This hour and twenty minute interview was conducted on 5/18/07 by WKCR's Ben Young at my home in Cochecton on the occasion of the station's week-long Sam Rivers retrospective.
Also included are three previously unreleased music tracks from a Sam Rivers Quartet broadcast in 5/10/65 on WHDH-TV hosted by Randy Westin. The three originals are my own composition "H.I.T.", Sam's "Beatrice" and "Dance Of The Tripodols"
Personnel: Sam Rivers (Horns), Hal Galper (Pno.), Larry "Lanky" Richardson (Bs.), Steve Ellington (Drm).
The size of the interview file was so large I broke it up into five parts plus three seperate music tracks that were played as part of the broadcast.
