For his second album on Columbia (following Go See the World), saxophonist David S. Ware has continued moving from the Herculean pyrotechnics that have been his stock-in-trade for three decades to a more melodic sound. The saxophonist still continues the work of John Coltrane's last phase, but he has found the same balance of freewheeling energy and arching melody that Charles Lloyd and Andrew Hill have. Within this new musical space, the leader and his talented quartet easily move from slow, impressionistic "Peace Celestial" to the rollicking title track to the urgent "Glorified Calypso" with offhand ease. Of particular note for the band is the stunning "African Drums," the 17-minute closing tune that continually turns a simple melody inside out in much the same way that Coltrane and Co. did with "My Favorite Things." David S. Ware has reinvented himself on Surrendered, not because he needed to, but because an artist has to continually do so. And there is no doubt that this is indeed art. --Tad Hendrickson

5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2007-02-06

David S. Ware (b. 1949) is an incredibly talented tenor saxophonist who reminds me of a young Archie Shepp. This music is open and edgy, demanding listeners to let it inside. Ware represents a corner of the jazz world that continues to create, evolve and inspire modern listeners and critics with a sound uniquely his own. He is one of a handful pushing ahead on the cutting edge of freeform jazz music.

"Surrendered", recorded in October of 1999, is a superb endeavor with Ware accompanied by the following musicians: Matthew Shipp (piano), William Parker (bass) and Guillermo E. Brown (drums). Ware's musings are careful yet unreserved, at once appearing as violent as they do tame. Occasionally Shipp pops up from the background with a stellar piano solo for audiences, with Parker and Brown forming the makes of a solid rhythm section. This album is well worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars Ware's finest session ... so far........2004-05-16

Free Jazz can be a difficult genre to expose people to. Especially when it comes to trying to recommend good introductory examples of it for novices. David S. Ware's second album for Columbia is just that sort of album. It's title has more to do with Ware's own realization that the time for the underground / indie rock scene to crossover with the free / avant-garde jazz community is ripe. This is more so than the spiritual inclinations given in the liner notes. Although those notes even acknowledge Ware's ubiquitous popularity among the tatooed and pierced set. Current opening slots for Sonic Youth certainly help in his exposure to this new breed of potential jazz fans.

The music itself is straight out of the now classic free jazz tradition as conceived by late period John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor and Albert Ayler. Free form drumming, screaming saxophones, modal bass plucking / bowing and slammed piano clusters have all been the trademarks of Ware's group sound in the past. But this album begs a plea for mainstream acceptance. Half of the album's tracks are straight out of the post-Coltrane tradition of monumental, free form-energy jazz, albeit with a somber / spiritual feel. Melodically they also share Coltrane's fascination with repeated motifs and repetitive melodic "mantras". But the rest of the tunes use traditional rhythmic structures to anchor them. This is new territory for Ware and his cohorts. There is a short R&B swing-shuffle, a propulsive calypso piece and a modal, African drumming styled selection to round out the disc. The sax solos are still tumultuous and full of the same building, blistering fury that put his name on the map. Matthew Shipp's piano playing is meandering and atonal yet strangely romantic in a melodic sort of way. But it is the rhythm section that holds it all together.

What some would call a watering down of Ware's normally advanced structural forms for the sake of mainstream acceptance, I call a breakthrough. For those looking to experience the cutting edge of today's avant-garde jazz scene in a traditional acoustic quartet format, this is the perfect compromise between classic "out" blowing and more rhythmically solid song structures. Some will cry sell out, I say it's his most listenable album yet. In a sense, it's his best one yet.

4 out of 5 stars Ware makes his own way........2002-01-25

David Ware plays a deep, fast, unique horn. Tonality is key to his technique, but he is not painfully bizarre--as was Pharaoh Sanders most of the time when he nearly ruined the latter Coltrane group (except when he played alto on "Live in Japan"). Ware's music is sometimes jarring, but bright with innovation. "Surrendered" is more approachable and less "outside" than, say, "Go See the World," which I also like. There is more song structure than in other "outside" jazz. Ware's fellow musicians fit well with his sensibilities, especially his pianist, Matthew Shipp, who can hold his own with Ware's ecstatic flights into the unknown. The last piece sounds a bit like "My Favorite Things," and swings in 3/4 time.

This is not one of my most-played discs, but it is just right for some moods. Ware has a voice of his own, to be sure.

--Douglas Groothuis

3 out of 5 stars just a bit flat.......2001-11-12

The pieces included on this album seem to hang together reasonably well. Ware and his band play well together as usual, and the new drummer seems to fit right in. So what's wrong? Nothing I can easily pinpoint. I've listened to it repeatedly, and it just doesn't hit me the way his previous release, "Go See the World" did. David S. Ware completists will want this, and fans of straight-ahead jazz who want to try something a bit more adventurous will get a safe introduction to one of avant-garde jazz's great combos. If you want to experience a Ware album with some raw emotion, stick to "Go See the World", or check out some of his work with William Parker (e.g., the excellent "The Peach Orchard" album comes most readily to mind). "Surrendered" will not go down as an essential recording in his canon, one that fans of adventurous jazz will neither love nor hate. If I could give a 3.5 star rating instead of 3 stars I would, on the strength of the last track (African Drums, which seems to have a bit more fire than the rest of the album).

4 out of 5 stars No penguin suits.......2001-06-01

These days mainstream jazzmen on big labels still wear buttoned down attire while their avant garde brethren have no suits :just shades, dashikis and jeans, but sartorial issues aside,David S. Ware quartet is a strong group with a great sound. William Parker and Guillermo Brown slap around the rhythm and offer Ware a solid foundation for his interplanetary sojourns on the T-sax. Matt Shipp is a genius who varies up the harmonic material and he plays free piano but never sounds Cecil-ian. This is good stuff without the dress code.

      This CD is awesome. The music is exotic. There are no words to describe it "when all words surrendered." Those who have not listen to this CD, should be exposed to it and embrace it. I can't wait to hear the your other CD, "Emu Hino". Go...Danny!

        5 out of 5 stars A Blessed Fan From Voorhees.......2000-01-09

        The Disciples for Christ CD "Surrendered" has truly blessed my soul. It is truly a Work inspired by God. It ministers to the lost. It fortifies the weary. "Give Him Praise" reminds us to praise the Lord in all we say and do. "Rescue Me" reminds us that the Lord, our Savior is only a prayer away. "Take It To Jesus" reminds us to pray. It's through prayer that "I Can Do All Things" through Christ Who strengthens me. The entire CD is uplifting to the spirit, body and soul. I purchased the CD for my home and a tape for my car. I thank God for His faithfulness that is exhibited in the Praise & Worship put forth by the Disciples of Christ.

        5 out of 5 stars The best song is..........1999-09-01

        Thank you Lord, My God the Lord really worked through the brother that wrote the song, and Evangelist Purcell, I've seen her sing in person, she is just truly annointed!

        5 out of 5 stars This tape is so uplifting!.......1999-09-01

        Not only is this tape uplifting but you can just feel the spirit of the Lord flow through this CD. The songs are wonderfully written, the music is super skillfully played, and the choir sings under the annointing and with power. The title track, "I Surrender All", WOW! It is hard not to let yourself be caught up.....

        4 out of 5 stars Great Production as well as verity of materials........1999-07-26

        This CD is appealing to all lover's of Gospel. "Thank You Lord" should move The Disciples For Christ into the spotlight. There is such a good feeling that Evangelist Monique Purcell generates as she sings. "Rescue Me" and "He Touched Me" also has promise.

        5 out of 5 stars The CD is "Off the Hook!".......1999-07-20

        This CD is great. It's not typical for a church to put out a quality project such as this. But this CD is simply amazing. My favorite is "Thank You Lord." This soloist will truly bless your soul!!!!!

          This album is full, from beginning to end, of quality worship music rendered with soul and deep sincerity. The songwriting of Jason Scholz proves fruitful with beautiful simplicity and enough hooks to get the music embedded into my spirit and have me singing long after the record has stopped. This is mostly acoustic guitar driven music (with some electric guitars), organ, drums, percussion and great vocals. It is authentic and totally unstaged. "Won By One" seems to invoke a bit of classic rock influence, while "River" wonderfully melodic yet simple
          with guitar, percussion and bass. I can't say enough about this album which I bought just on a whim. It has become a staple of my personal devotion time and listening pleasure. Too bad you can't hear any of the songs on this page. Each one is excellent and serve to create one refreshing, soothing and uplifting listening experience.
