A portrait of Sam Rivers and Jim Newman (l to r), taken during a retreat at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside CA, prior to the 5th Other Minds Music Festival, in March of 1999. Sam Rivers is one of the major figures in contemporary jazz: a brilliant improviser and one of the defining influences of multi-instrumentalism in jazz, performing on tenor and soprano saxophones, flute, and piano. For decades the leader of his own small groups, Rivers has also performed and recorded with artists of such diverse styles as Miles Davis, Cecil Taylor, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, McCoy Tyner, Max Roach, and others. He has also performed with symphony orchestras including the San Francisco Orchestra with Serge Ozawa. He is a prolific composer of songs, melodies and compositions for large and small ensembles, jazz, and symphony orchestras. Jim Newman is the founder of Other Minds.Genres & Subjects
