by Giuseppe Segala
April 5, 2021

David S. Ware New Quartet: Théâtre Garonne, 2008

by Giuseppe Segala
November 2, 2020

È giusto ricordare un gigante come David S. Ware. La quantità di energia e poesia che egli convoglia nella propria musica e nel suono poderoso del sax tenore (e stritch) lo accomuna a grandi come Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler.
