Product Description

"Fuchsia Swing Song" is a groundbreaking album by the innovative multi-instrumentalist and composer Sam Rivers, released on January 1, 1965, under the CM Blue Note label. This captivating work is a fusion of free jazz, hard bop, and avant-garde genres, showcasing Rivers' boundary-pushing approach to music. The album spans a concise yet impactful 38 minutes, featuring six tracks that delve into the depths of improvisation and experimental composition.

From the swinging "Fuchsia Swing Song" to the introspective "Beatrice," Rivers takes you on a journey through his unique musical landscape. The album's title track sets the tone with its infectious rhythm and vibrant energy, while "Downstairs Blues Upstairs" offers a more contemplative mood. "Cyclic Episode" and "Luminous Monolith" highlight Rivers' ability to blend structured composition with free-form improvisation, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience. The album concludes with "Ellipsis," a piece that leaves you pondering the endless possibilities of jazz.

"Fuchsia Swing Song" is a testament to Sam Rivers' genius and his enduring influence on the world of jazz. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding exploration of sound and innovation.

This 2023 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Fantastic '72 Audio Grab It

    kaloconcev14 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic audio on this '72 reissue without the Van Gelder markings. Don't think twice, just grab it!

  • Avant-Garde Treasure with Swing

    5 out of 5 stars
    aictzuutu4 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    Sam Rivers might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially on later recordings, but this album is an absolute avant-garde treasure. It's surprisingly approachable and melodic, with a strong swing driven by Tony Williams' fantastic drumming. The pressing is excellent, full of dynamics, and my copy is flawless.

  • Lost Bass, Great Album

    2 out of 5 stars
    TacYpodijo12 June 2025United States🇺🇸

    Awesome album, poor quality pressing. Ron Carter's bass got lost in the mix and it's barely there at all.

  • Vinyl Sound Quality Impressive

    5 out of 5 stars
    Movgoooy_Gayuhc21 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing, this album totally blows me away. I'd already listened to it on SoundCloud, but this vinyl release is truly special. The music and performance are already fantastic, but the sound quality here is absolutely top-notch. Yet another win for the Bluenote Classic Vinyl series.
