David S. Ware (1949 - 2012) - A WORLD OF SOUNDS



David Spencer Ware (November 7, 1949 – October 18, 2012) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader.

The critical buzz aroused by David S. Ware's work with Andrew Cyrille and Cecil Taylor in the '70s had, by the late '90s, turned into a consonant roar. New York's collective jazz press -- always on the lookout for the music's next messiah -- crowned Ware the "King of Free Jazz" on the basis of his energetic quartet albums from the mid-'90s. Ware's band (with Matthew Shipp on piano, William Parker on bass, and, variously, Susie lbarra, Marc Edwards, or Whit Dickey on drums) became the decade's avant-garde supergroup by consensus, and Ware was indeed a splendid artist.

“He’s one of the last of the Mohicans – there’s nobody in the world who has what David has.” – Matthew Shipp (pianist/composer)

Here is a fine 13-minute long documentary on this excellent master musician: http://dlf.tv/2011/david-s-ware/
