    Julian Priester/Sam Rivers: Hints on Light and Shadow CD in jewel case.

    “…an example of Rivers’ free-blowing brilliance… Priester is a fine nimble player… …they’re both such able improvisers that moments of revelation are inevitable.: – Jazziz

    On this Postcards Records CD, “Julian Priester / Sam Rivers: Hints on Light and Shadow”, the two maestros mesh their free-spirited instincts with electronics that enlarge the Jazz palette and electrify the proceedings: a brass and reed fantasy distilled to its pure, swinging, melodic essence.

    “…a welcomed addition to both artists’ discographies.” – JazzTimes

    This unprecedented duet session blends the music of two Jazz masters (who have played with such wide ranging artists as T-Bone Walker, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock, and on through the distant musical galaxies of Sun Ra) with the fresh, post-modern, cutting edge electronics of Tucker Martine (the Grammy Nominated producer for Bill Frisell, The Decemberists, and Sufjan Stevens). Together, Priester and Rivers achieve the highest level of communication through improvisational feel and thought, in a manner rarely captured and released on recordings.

    “Postcards continues to explore the possibilities of improvisation in an electro-acoustic setting… I highly recommend it for headphone listening.” – Cadence Magazine

    The combination of Sam Rivers multi-instrumental mind (he plays Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute, and Piano on this album) and the virtuosic trombone depth and delicacy achieved by Julian Priester, culminates in an impressive and thought-provoking Free Jazz album from the Postcards label entitled “Julian Priester / Sam Rivers: Hints on Light and Shadow”.
