The last of four distinctive albums
made by saxophonist Sam Rivers for Blue Note
in the 1960s, Dimensions & Extensions is fascinating for the presence of Donald Byrd who makes a rare foray into the
avant-garde alongside Julian Priester, James Spaulding, Cecil
McBee, and Steve Ellington for a set
of evocative Rivers originals.
This
stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced
by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes,
pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.
