Contrasts is an album by American jazz saxophonist Sam Rivers, recorded in December 1979 and released on ECM Records the following year. The quartet features trombonist George E. Lewis and rhythm section Dave Holland and Thurman Barker.

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

The album opens in “Circles” with some chewy improv. Thick horns and brittle drumming provide plenty of interplay to keep our wits on a tight leash. Lewis seems the most at home here, providing a bubbling cauldron of likeminded flights. It is the first in a smattering of freer tracks, the others being the slowly building “Solace” and perhaps the most abstract aside, “Images.”...

Waves is an album by American jazz saxophonist Sam Rivers, recorded in 1978 and released on the Tomato label.

The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated: "An explosive late '70s set with underrated composer, multi-instrumentalist, and arranger Sam Rivers leading a strong quartet... Their array of contrasting voicings, with Rivers on tenor and soprano sax and flute, makes for compelling listening".

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz called the album "a neglected masterpiece from one of the most interesting of Rivers's small groups," and wrote: "It's a shame this fine record hasn't had wider currency." - Wikipedia
