Please join us for a concert of Sam Rivers music, part of the 54th Annual Pitt Jazz Seminar and Concert. Performers include Joseph Daley (tuba) and Steve Coleman (saxophone), both of whom worked with Sam in New York during the early days of Studio Rivbea and beyond; and Doug Mathews (bass & clarinet) and Craig Harris (trombone) who worked with Sam during his years in Orlando.

Rivers was widely known in both traditional and avant-garde jazz circles. His extensive archive, which includes hundreds of scores and unreleased audio and video performances, was recently acquired by the University of Pittsburgh Library System.
