Birth Of A Being
Birth Of A Being presents the essential first studio recordings by the late and incomparable jazz saxophonist David S. Ware as a bandleader. Recorded in New York, April 1977, the first disc features material originally released on LP by the Swiss label, hat Hut Records -- out of print for over 30 years. The second disc features a full additional album of top-shelf material from those same sessions that have never been released in any form. This definitive edition was sourced from the original analog 8- track tapes, and newly mixed in 2015. Crucial. And it sounds stunning.
Ware s band here, featuring Cooper-Moore on piano and Marc Edwards on drums, was known as Apogee. The long-standing & incessantly active collective trio formed in Boston (Ware attended college there) at the end of the 60s and relocated to NYC to work within the seventies loft scene.
This 2CD set is the first in a planned series of DSW archival releases on AUM Fidelity by this eternal jazz master.
