The American saxophonist David S Ware died last month, at the age of 62. His final album, here leading a quartet including the ubiquitous William Parker on bass, offers three ecstatically elongated workouts typical of his approach.
Ware’s sound was forged in the slipstream of John Coltrane’s explosive and expansive late sixties experiments, and he viewed his own cosmic free-jazz in spiritual and spatial terms. His contemporary Steve Lacy’s final recordings seemed valedictory. Here, Ware is still aiming his horn at the stars.
