Emanation is a live album by the Sam Rivers Trio, led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Rivers, and featuring double bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Norman Connors. It was recorded on June 3, 1971, at the Jazz Workshop in Boston, and was released in 2019 by NoBusiness Records as volume 1 of the Sam Rivers Archive Series.
The album is based on material selected from Rivers' massive recorded archives, which are curated by writer and producer Ed Hazell, who spent a year reviewing tapes with the goal of choosing the best recordings for release by NoBusiness Records. Regarding Emanation, Hazell reflected: "It's fascinating as an early example of what he was setting out to do... developing a characteristic voice for each instrument, letting the rhythmic feel be fluid and changing without any preagreement."
The same trio appears on the live album Streams, recorded in 1973, and released by Impulse! later that year.
