Sam Rivers - Paragon
Review by Ellysa Sulaiman
Paragon, the album by Sam Rivers, is a masterpiece of jazz music. The album features a unique blend of free jazz and avant-garde styles, with Rivers' distinctive saxophone playing taking center stage.
The opening track, "Cyclic Episode," sets the tone for the album with its complex rhythms and intricate melodies. Rivers' saxophone work is particularly impressive, with his solos showcasing his technical skill and improvisational prowess.
Throughout the album, Rivers is joined by a talented group of musicians who help to create a rich and dynamic sound. The interplay between the different instruments is particularly impressive, with each musician contributing to the overall texture of the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Beatrice," a beautiful ballad that showcases Rivers' more sensitive side. The track features some of his most lyrical playing, with his saxophone soaring over the gentle piano and bass accompaniment.
