Reviews

Seven years after his death, fire-and-brimstone tenor saxophonist David S. Ware is still giving us new music. Théâtre Garonne, 2008 presents his New Quartet (with guitarist Joe Morris, bassist William Parker, and drummer Warren Smith) in concert in France two weeks after the group recorded the album Shakti.
