About this user

The trumpeter, whose playing is in the tradition of Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan, would in another era be a member of Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers. His tone is quite attractive, his solos are full of surprises, and he plays with consistent passion and creativity within the hard bop and post bop tradition. Rivkins fiery and forward-looking playing will with luck make him one of the pacesetters of the trumpet in future years -Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene
