(3 Customer Reviews)
Tenor saxophonist David Murray & the Gwo-Ka Masters mix together aspects of jazz with African rhythms (propelled by both Klod Kiavue and Hamid Drake on drums), occasional group vocals, a flexible horn section, and Christian Laviso's distinctive guitar. Most intriguing is the opportunity to hear both Murray and Pharoah Sanders taking raging solos over catchy but unpredictable grooves. Freed from playing jazz standards or very free improvisations, Murray really thrives in this exotic setting, which was inspired by his move to France. "Gwotet," "Ouagadougou," and "Djolla Feeling" are high points, but there are no slow moments during the infectious set of danceable but somewhat unclassifiable music. ~ Scott Yanow

Gwotet songs
$15.65 Saxophonist David Murray continues his cross genre initiatives on this undeniably exciting, 2003 release Now Is Another Time. With this effort, the artist enlists his longtime running mates, trumpeter Hugh Ragin and baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett to complement a huge cast of Cuban musicians. This large ensemble Latin jazz extravaganza packs a mighty blow, from beginning to end. Here, the band churns out radiant, multi-layered horn arrangements atop the Cuban masters' sweltering percussion grooves and the soloists' blaring exchanges. They integrate punctual choruses into the grand mix, to coincide with the band's bold, brassy sound and thrusting impetus. Furthermore, Murray is in top form, evidenced by his climactically driven soloing endeavors -- where he peaks within the upper registers -- via an unrelenting pace. It's all about perpetual motion topped off with a festive sentiment, marked by oscillating Afro-Cuban grooves and a few poignant interludes here and there. But the musicians also utilize space to their advantage, where they often allow any given soloist, ample breathing room to reconfigure previously explored themes. Folks, this is the real deal. An awe-inspiring effort, indeed! ...
| | David S Ware Live In The World CDs (2005)
Gwotet album
$20.49 A longtime frontrunner in the jazz avant-garde, saxophonist David S. Ware has released one of his strongest and most comprehensive statements with 2005's LIVE IN THE WORLD. A sprawling three-CD set, this collection of performances recorded in Italy in Switzerland features Ware playing with regular sidemen Matthew Shipp (piano) and William Parker (bass), two of the finest musicians in the game. Different drummers dominate each set--Susie Ibarra on Disc One, Hamid Drake on Disc Two, and Guillermo E. Brown on Disc Three--in each case providing pulse, texture, clatter, and drive to the tireless exploration and scintillating chemistry of the core trio.
The material includes covers (an extended, abstract reading of "The Way We Were") and originals that range in feel from the quietly meditative ("Aquarian Sound") to the kinetic ("Logistic") to the rhythmic and ruminative ("Elder's Path"). Disc Three is primarily devoted to a complete re-working ...
| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
Gwotet CD music
$12.89 On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic and harmonic intricacies that seem to spur Coltrane's saxophone exploration to new heights.
The quartet shines on ballads ("Sweet and Lovely"), but the leaders display their best chemistry on the Monk's thorny, uptempo ...
