Dave Holland / Sam Rivers

Dave Holland / Sam Rivers is an album by American jazz saxophonist Sam Rivers and English double-bassist Dave Holland recorded on December 9, 1975 and released on Improvising Artists early the following year.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Rivers' adventurous solos and interplay with the virtuosic Holland make this CD of interest to listeners with open ears toward the avant-garde, despite the LP-length playing time."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "a finely balanced duo performance which reunites the more interesting axis of Holland's Conference of the Birds quartet... An intriguing album, strongly recommended for anyone who found the ECM quartet compelling."
