Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
On
Contours, his second Blue Note album, tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers
fully embraced the avant-garde, but presented his music in a way that
wouldn't be upsetting or confusing to hard bop loyalists. Rivers leads a
quintet featuring trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, pianist Herbie Hancock,
bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Joe Chambers through a set of originals
that walk a fine line between probing, contemplative post-bop and
densely dissonant avant-jazz. Each musician is able to play the extremes
equally well while remaining sensitive to the compositional subtleties.
Rarely is Contours anything less than enthralling, and it remains one
of the high watermarks of the mid-'60s avant-garde movement.

Reseña
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine
En
Contours, su segundo álbum en Blue Note, el saxofonista tenor Sam
Rivers abrazó por completo la vanguardia, pero presentó su música de una
manera que no resultara molesta o confusa para los fieles al hard bop.
Rivers dirige un quinteto en el que participan el trompetista Freddie
Hubbard, el pianista Herbie Hancock, el bajista Ron Carter y el
baterista Joe Chambers a través de un conjunto de originales que se
mueven en la fina línea que separa el post-bop contemplativo y el
avant-jazz densamente disonante. Cada músico es capaz de tocar los
extremos igual de bien sin dejar de ser sensible a las sutilezas de la
composición. Contours no deja de ser apasionante, y sigue siendo una de
las referencias más importantes del movimiento vanguardista de mediados
de los 60.
