Sam Rivers

the man is legendary, if you dont know his music and his history i suggest you take a few minutes away from listening to rap music and open yourself up to some great music.

he lives here in orlando and is friends with my music history teacher and the music history course director. we have been on the subject of jazz for the past few lectures so what better way to finish it off with a little Q&A with Sam Rivers. it was great. the man is 82 years old and is still full of life. he still plays, writes and composes. he was funny as hell. he had the whole class laughing our asses off. very strong man, he had phemonia 3 times in 2 months and is still here to talk about it.

i just had to brag :) it was such a cool experience just to listen to him talk and meet a man with so much history working with greats like miles davis, jimi hendrix, billie holiday, quincy jones, dizzy gillespie, and the list goes on and on.

Why did you feel the need to go copy and paste a list of artist someone has worked with? Seems really pointless and honestly has nothing to do with dude meeting Sam Rivers. Unless ofcourse you thought by copying this information off of a website it would make you look a little cooler.

Is Brian Gardner one of the guys interviewed on the Tupac Hip-Hop Genius DVD? I don't have the DVD near me at the moment...
brian gardner is a studio engineer. if i say brian "big bass" gardner it probably sounds a lot more familiar - he basically mastered nearly all the tupac albums that have been put out.
