Free jazz featuring Ware's high-energy, gnarled sax sound (high skronk factor) and an all-star quartet fronted by Matthew Shipp's piano. Played with power and energy, but not in full blowout mode; it's more like a towering, shadowy sound with a pinpoint sense of control that's sometimes allowed to wander off the needle a little. David S. Ware -- tenor sax Matthew Shipp -- piano William Parker -- bass Guillermo E. Brown -- drums 1- Spoken introduction 2- Powerful, emotional midtempo. A big, reverent sound. 3- (18:49) Solo sax scrawls alternated with trio interludes, mostly in mid/fast mode in varying moods. Ends with a long drum solo. What's interesting here is the way the Shipp/Parker/Brown trio sets and sticks to a mood -- now, that might have been pre-determined, and it's true the piano takes the lead sonically by default, but still... you can tell these guys have played together a lot. 4- Fast quartet ramble, cool. Gets heavy, skronky, out there. 5- Piano/bass duet, fast but moody. Gets scribbly. 6- Loping midtempo, a dusky, catchy 5/4 bassline. Very cool. Starts with small band blasts. (Nice studio version of this one is on Ware's "Go See the World.") 7- Reprise of 2: Another towering, passionate sermon. Last 3 minutes are applause and PA announcements. 8- Fairly fast and scribbly. | ||
