Grand reworking of Sonny Rollins' 1958 "Freedom Suite." The piece takes up the entire disk, broken into four parts. Ware plays his usual type-A, with lots of choppy aggression but without trampling Sonny's composition. It's an adventurous free-jazz interpretation (contrast with Branford Marsalis' more conventional version on his CD, "Footsteps of Our fathers.") Matthew Shipp on piano provides a cascading, seascape of mid/low chords, particularly on the darker third track. Every track is great: 1- Upbeat theme, with very nice sax and piano solos. 2- Cooler sound, more of a nighttime jazz-club feel. 3- Big and stormy, slow. 4- Midtempo free groove | ||
