Studio Rivbea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studio Rivbea is a jazz performance loft run by saxophonist Sam Rivers in the 1970s. It was located on Bond Street in Lower Manhattan. It was important in the development of jazz because it was an example of artists creating their own performance spaces and taking responsibility for presenting music to the public. This allowed for music to be free of extra-musical concerns that would be present in a nightclub or concert hall situation. A series of recordings made at the loft were issued under the title Wildflowers on the Douglas label.
