      This is an amazing session from 1967. This album provides vigorously engaging textures, shapes, and sounds from beginning to end. This March 17, 1967 session is certainly the most avant-garde outing Rivers had for the label, and signaled the tone of later efforts he would make in the 70s for Impulse and ECM.
