David S. Ware: Shakti
by Russ Musto
David S. Ware's Shakti, his first release since the dissolution of his longstanding quartet, is an outstanding addition to the saxophonist's already extraordinary discography. Ware is reunited with bassist William Parker (a member of the earlier quartet, who goes back to Ware's very first recordings as a leader), with veteran Warren Smith seated in the drum ...
Joe Morris: Today On Earth
by John Sharpe
Joe Morris holds a unique position in creative music, meriting the top drawer on both guitar and bass, wielding the former in David S. Ware's resurgent company on Shakti (AUM Fidelity, 2009), and the latter on Wildlife (AUM Fidelity, 2009). For his third outing on the same imprint in 2009 Morris returns to guitar for what ...
David S. Ware: Shakti
by AAJ Italy Staff
Da un CD intitolato Shakti, e con un cobra disegnato in copertina, sarebbe lecito aspettarsi come minimo una musica ispirata alla tradizione karnatika o qualcosa sul modello di John McLaughlin anni Settanta, in realtà il riferimento orientale più immediato che potrete ipotizzare subito dopo l'ascolto è quello che va alle scale modali e all'assenza del centro ...
David S. Ware: Shakti
by Lyn Horton
In connecting composition with improvisation, players inherently manifest their awareness on levels from the technical to the spiritual.

David S. Ware: Shakti
by John Sharpe
From the outset, tenor saxophonist David S Ware's magisterial tone serves notice that his phenomenal powers are undimmed on the debut of his new quartet. After some evolution the lineup has settled with Ware unable to better William Parker's tenure of the bass chair, master percussionist Warren Smith enlisted on drums and Boston- based Joe Morris ...
David S. Ware: Shakti
by Mark Corroto
The path an original voice must take in jazz this century is quite different from that of 50 years ago. Gone are the big labels and covers of TIME magazine. The 'big names' in jazz are institutionalized at universities and Lincoln Center, making records with Willie Nelson and playing covers of Nirvana pop songs. ...
David S. Ware: Shakti
by Troy Collins
Shakti is the triumphant return of tenor saxophonist David S. Ware. His first studio recording since 2003's Threads (Thirsty Ear), this album marks the recorded debut of his first working group since he disbanded his famously prolific quartet of 1989-2006. An acknowledged master of the tenor saxophone, Ware's influence spans his seminal days in the seventies ...
Sonny Rollins: Still Seeking the Lost Chord

There's no question he is the greatest remaining icon to come out ...
