Recorded in 1966 at the legendary Van Gelder Studios, A New Conception finds saxophonist Sam Rivers taking a compelling turn from his earlier avant-garde explorations, delivering a set of popular standards with his distinctive, boundary-pushing voice. Backed by a tight quartet featuring Hal Galper on piano, Herbert Lewis on bass, and Steve Ellington on drums, Rivers brings a riveting and fresh perspective to beloved classics, making them wholly his own.
This Blue Note Tone Poet Edition, produced by Joe Harley and mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original analog master tapes, represents a long-overdue and lovingly crafted reissue of a 1967 classic. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket with a rice paper inner sleeve, this release is a dream come true for fans of Sam Rivers and serious jazz listeners who have waited decades to hear this album given the care and attention it truly deserves.
