1967 studio album by Sam Rivers
Contours Sam Rivers recorded in 1965 and released on the Blue Note label.[ 2]
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 5 stars and stated "On Contours , his second Blue Note album, tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers fully embraced the avant-garde, but presented his music in a way that wouldn't be upsetting or confusing to hard bop loyalists... Rarely is Contours anything less than enthralling, and it remains one of the high watermarks of the mid-'60s avant-garde movement".[ 3]
