About this item
Product Description
Planetary Unknown documents an epic occurrence,
and its commercial release is the same. David S.
Ware and company raise the bar on artistic heights,
in all disciplines, once again. In late November 2010,
four men arrived at Brooklyn s Systems Two Studio to
record an album. The web of musical, personal, and
spiritual connections that brought them together at that
particular time and place is a modern jazz parable.
Ware and Cooper-Moore shared formative years in
Boston, until in 1973 the pull of New York s jazz scene
called them home. Cooper-Moore, Ware, and William
Parker were heavyweights of the Downtown loft scene,
playing spaces like Ali s Alley and Studio Rivbea,
experiences that equipped Ware and Parker for the
extended periods each would spend within the Cecil
Taylor Unit, and for their 18 years of artistic refinement
and growth inside the David S. Ware Quartet.
Muhammad Ali, an early loft regular, had already
relocated to Paris with Frank Wright when Cecil Taylor s
Unit came to town in 1976. Ware met Ali on that visit,
and both men made a mental note that one day they
would play together. Ali s presence here is a direct
blood-link back to the birth of free music in America it
was his brother, the late and much-missed Rashied Ali,
who replaced Elvin Jones in the John Coltrane Quartet,
and with whom Coltrane recorded Interstellar Space, his
catalytic 1967 album of saxophone/percussion duos.
Review
A group music based upon such a level of intuitive
understanding that it can only be described as
extraordinary. --Nic Jones, All About Jazz
Ware s playing is astonishing, pushing the limits of
brain, fingers and equipment, ideas rushing out in
a stream of furious, liquid invention, with an almost
superhuman precision. --Daniel Spicer, BBC.com
