River's magnificent debut album with Jakie Byard, Ron Carter and Tony Williams is pure chemistry by four masters. Rivers and Byard, both eclectic virtuosos, go back to the '40s together and Sam had been playing with Williams since he was 12 (he's all of 18 here). A classic album of taste, spirit and discovery with four alternate takes.

Rouse was the consummate hard-bopper, but he had an affinity for the delicate melodies and irresistible rhythms of Brazilian samba music. This 1962 album with Kenny Burrell, Willie bobo and Patao Valdes among others was his first forary into the genre and his muscular lyricism suits the material perfectly.
