The Lithuanian (!) free jazz label NoBusiness has got off to such a great start, they’re already beginning to look like the heirs to the whole ESP Disk-Silkheart tradition of vital vinyl documents of contemporary fire music. And this has got to be their greatest move to date, a deluxe audiophile presentation of a concert by one of the all-time great free jazz quartets and heirs to the current previously channeled by the John Coltrane Quartet and the Frank Wright Quartet. This is the line-up featuring Ware, Parker and Shipp alongside drummer Guillermo E. Brown, recorded live in Lithuania in 2007. This set really has a ‘classic’ feel too it, opening up with a tempestuous Trane-heavy reading of Ware’s “Ganesh Sound”. Another highlight is the side-long plus take of Sun Ra’s “The Stargazers”, with Parker’s bass playing the perfect amalgam of pulse statement, tactile wood and wire feel and inspired tonal/melodic extrapolation. The closing version of “Surrendered” has all of the otherworldly emotional fanfare of Albert Ayler. The whole set is pressed across two slabs of vinyl that play at 45rpm to maximum sonic effect and it comes packaged in a full-colour gatefold sleeve. The David S. Ware Quartet are one of the great groups of my lifetime and this is a release to treasure. Edition of 1000 copies. Highly recommended.
