Read "Blood Of The Earth" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Last September (2009), there were early signs of organ rejection, so he was placed on a course of steroids. These came with side effects that were more debilitating than last year's operation itself. Since then, Ware has been in a ...

Read "David S. Ware and Joe Rigby: Loft Jazz Soloists" reviewed by Clifford Allen

William Parker: At Somewhere There

Read "At Somewhere There" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Bassist William Parker's music reveals the ever presence of two things: energy and color. Sure, a band's timekeeper is also its dynamo, but Parker's music has always radiated more than pulse. His playing gives off a spiritual vibration that translates easily into color fields. He is a human mood ring. This live recording, from July 2008 ...
