1986 studio album by Sam Rivers
Dimensions & Extensions Sam Rivers recorded in 1967 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1986 with the original catalogue number and the intended cover artwork.[1] Involution (1976, BN-LA 453-H2), which combined them with tracks recorded under Andrew Hill 's leadership that would eventually see release as Change [2]
Reception [ ] The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 5 stars and stated "With music as risky at this, it's forgivable that it occasionally meanders (especially on the slower numbers) but, overall, Dimensions and Extensions offers more proof that Sam Rivers was one of the early giants of the avant-garde".[3]
