Description
'The Balance' presents an outstanding and incendiary David S. Ware concert, in trio with William Parker and Warren Smith. A tenor sax / bass / drums excursion of full-on intensity from the first note, this is a non-stop suite of spontaneous form created at NYC's Vision Festival in 2010.

Also included here are four exceptional out-takes from the Onecept session - all of which had been completed & considered for inclusion at that time. This new release, together with 'Onecept' and 'Live in New York, 2010' (rel. 2017) present the complete (and fully illuminated) work which this group created.

Each of their three communions has its own flavour: Onecept deals exquisitely with space and purposefully featured David on three different horns (tenor, stritch, saxello), with Warren Smith on tympanis/percussion in addition to drum set. The night at the Blue Note features the most extensive documentation of Ware on straight alto sax (stritch), with the Mid & Far-Eastern tones he brought forth on the instrument blossoming beautifully over the course of two sets in an intimate setting. This festival stage concert is premier 21st Century free jazz rendered with the virtuosity and lucidity that only Ware (with his esteemed peers) could provide. A profound and utterly complete treat.

Packaged in a limited edition deluxe 6-panel digipak, with liner notes by Ware's long-time producer, photographs from the concert, and the vivid witness painting on the cover, which was made during this performance.

"To call this music free improvisation would be doing it a disservice, as the trio's intimate communication births structure after structure with melody at the core." - Dusted

"Ware is a genius at extrapolating from and recombining source material on the fly - his mind as well as his fingers move with electric urgency." - Chicago Reader
