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.

Tafillalt: Tafillalt
by Eyal Hareuveni
This innovative alt-klezmer/alt-Jewish music ensemble represents the growing interest of John Zorn's Tzadik label in the Israeli Jewish music scene.

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 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. ...
