David Ware S- Threads (CD)
Over the course of a nearly three-decade career, Ware has come to be regarded as an elder statesman of NY's thriving Free Jazz scene. His spiritually charged playing and monstrous tone are present on "Threads", and the string work from rising classical star Daniel Bernard Roumain and world acclaimed string player Mat Maneri ranges from gritty to majestic. The digital synthesizer is alive under Matthew Shipp's command, and William Parker and Guillermo Brown approach Ware's music with sensitivity and understanding. "... I've had the idea for several years of working with strings and see it as a way to expand my concept of music. Strings have a natural universal quality, putting you in a subtle world of consciousness and spirit"-David S. Ware.
Tracklist:
- Ananda Rotation
- Sufic Passages
- Weave, Pt. 1
- Threads
- Carousel of Lightness
- Weave, Pt. 2
