DAVID S. WARE: Onecept
AUM Fidelity, 2010

FREE JAZZ – David S. Ware’s second CD (and first studio session) since recovering from a kidney transplant is a fully improvised trio date with William Parker and Warren Smith. Ware switches things up on tenor sax, stritch and saxello, while Parker’s alert bass stokes the fire. And Smith sounds great, alternating on tympani and drum kit.

Try any track. Fo’s Picks: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8

1. 7:53 – knotty stritch, fast sawing bass, very cool solo for tympani & gong
2. 6:31 – rolling drums into 3-way tumble; spinning sax, rhythmic bass bursts
3. 6:24 – trio all pulling in same direction, controlled fire as sax heats up
4. 6:56 – sour saxello wavers over wandering arco bass, great flexible drums
5. 14:54 – slow pace: lonely stritch over tympani; develops into a melodic but highly angular piece with eloquent horn, gentle bass, minimal drums
6. 4:35 – abstract saxello runs from shapeless landscape into jazzy linearity
7. 6:43 – dark intro, sax spins, buzzes, screeches; bass really mixes it up
8. 6:50 – relatively jazzy sound with freewheeling drive
9. 4:27 – scattershot approach with prodding saxello whine
