| | Corridors & Parallels CD David S. Ware Discography of CDs
After making two recordings, alternately uncompromising and decidedly beautiful, for Columbia/Sony at the tail end of the '90s, David S. Ware returned to the independent AUM Fidelity label to make the 13th of his Quartet albums (all of which feature William Parker & Matthew Shipp). Far more auspicious than this return is Ware's incorporation of synthesizer (played by Shipp) into the tonal palette, CORRIDORS & PARALLELS being the first recording to feature the master pianist in this capacity. Showing off the group's improvisational prowess, this album presents perhaps their widest variety of approaches to date.
"Jazz Fi-Sci" is a "trading fours" piece with burbling synth and burning sax. "Superimposed" is a Brazilian-flavored duet between Ware's tenor and Shipp's synth rhythms/percussive accents. There is an emotionally wrought gospel rave-up in "Mother May You Rest In Bliss". The title track features a synth-generated rhythm track, haunting electronic melody, counter-melodic arco bass, live drums, and Ware's impeccable tenor in a riveting tour de force. CORRIDORS is an immediately rewarding album for the modern ear, but its strength and beauty will be further revealed over time.
Recorded at Sorcerer Sound, New York, New York.

Purchase Corridors & Parallels CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland CD (1968)
Corridors & Parallels
$9.89 Principally recorded at the Record Plant, New York, New York in April and May 1968.
On ELECTRIC LADYLAND Jimi Hendrix stretched and experimented in the studio, going beyond the power-trio format on what would be his last studio album with the Experience. ELECTRIC LADYLAND was revolutionary in its scope and execution. Using New York City's Record Plant as a gateway to free expression, Hendrix traversed an abstract landscape containing compositions as weird and wonderful as "...And The Gods Made Love" and "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)."
Simultaneously looking forwards and backwards, Hendrix mixed in a song reminiscent of his time on the chitlin' circuit (Earl King's "Come On [Part 1]"), a Bob Dylan favorite ("All Along The Watchtower"), and one of his snappiest singles ("Crosstown Traffic"). Although Hendrix ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Corridors & Parallels
$6.39 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and ...
| | David S Ware Freedom Suite CD (2002)
Corridors & Parallels
$13.25 After a decade and a half of dwelling in the shadows of the vanguard jazz pantheon, saxophonist David S. Ware reaches his zenith with this rendering of Sonny Rollins' 1958 magnum opus Freedom Suite. Originally composed for performance by a trio, Ware's addition of Matthew Shipp's piano to the proceedings allows him to completely reconceptualize the entire work. Where Rollins' original bordered on atonality with restrained tension held by the rhythm section, Ware allows the dissonance free reign, or nearly so. This does not mean he doesn't follow Rollins' dictations for flow or progression, quite the opposite; it's more that Ware allows the dynamic and rhythmic invention a freer passage. Shipp is the bridge, so to speak, for both harmonic and rhythmic ideas. As Ware states the theme with the trio, Shipp enters at a crucial melodic juncture to open the free exchange between front line and the other players. Guillermo E. Brown's sense of time here is fluid, yet his attention to nuances opened by Shipp is taut, full of tight rim shots and crisp accents. William ...
