Review

Entertainment Weekly (5/26/00, p.75) - "Ware continues shaving the edge off his quartet's once confrontational sound, but there's still plenty of nasty tenor sax from the leader and slamming contributions from the others..." - Rating: B+
Alternative Press (10/00, p.113) - 4 out of 5 - "...[A] brilliant album full of vital, essential jazz..."
Magnet (8-9/00, p.94) - "...A clear victory for [him] and his stunning quartet..."
The Wire (8/00, p.52) - "...Ware's best album to date....While his playing respects the 'tradition'...Ware continues to march unsentimentally forward. The quartet sounds great throughout..."
CMJ (5/29/00, p.26) - "...Finds the tenor giant exploring the outer reaches of modality and harmony....working beautiful melodies and a lyrical approach into the explosive inventiveness of their roots in the gospels of John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor..."
Down Beat (9/00, pp.68-9) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Covers a wider range of tempo and emotion than on any previous quartet recording, and bandmates Matthew Shipp and William Parker respond by showing why they're one of the best contemporary piano/bass combinations around..."

Title Note

Personnel: David S. Ware (tenor saxophone); Matthew Shipp (piano); William Parker (bass); Guillermo E. Brown (drums).

Recorded at Avatar Studios, New York, New York on October 20 & 21, 1999. Includes liner notes by David Fricke.

On this album, saxophone colossus David S. Ware takes the state-of-the-art jazz quartet of the 90s "inside." Matthew Shipp, William Parker, and Guillermo E. Brown--a portentously gifted drummer--stick to rich grooves and melodic lines, while David is more ambitious with his elocution. The centerpiece title track--a meditative yet propulsive soul number--is bookended by a rendition of Charles Lloyd's neo-bop "Sweet Georgia Bright" (initially sounding like a lark but ultimately successful in bringing the joy--repeatedly) and the highly addictive "African Drums" (a 17-minute fusion of Mingus' trademark 6/8 meter and the modal approach of John Coltrane's classic quartet). While this album doesn't break any new ground per se, it is a lush green valley on the exclusive land mass of elevated sound science which David and the quartet have created over the past decade.
