Arts for Art is excited to bring you Studio RIVBEA REVISITED, at 24 Bond Street in NYC, the site of Sam River’s loft.

Released in the late 70s, the five-volume compilation LPs “Wildflowers,” captured a few of the better-known bands that played at the iconic Studio Rivbea in the 1970s, but Rivbea was also where many legends of today got their start including William Parker, Cooper-Moore (aka Gene Ashton), William Hooker, David S. Ware and David Murray. Studio RIVBEA REVISITED is a concert series starting Wednesday, January 4th, that features musicians who played Rivbea back in the 1970s and others who certainly would be playing there now, if Studio Rivbea still existed.

6pm | Panel: History of Rivbea, participating artists and Brent Hayes Edwards
7pm | Karen Borca 4tet: Karen Borca - bassoon / Hilliard Greene - bass / Warren Smith - vibes
8:30pm | Fred Moten poetry / Brandon Lopez - bass
9pm | James Brandon Lewis Band
