Planetary Unknown documents an epic occurrence and its commercial release is itself the same. Major circles arc together and synchronize anew here. Mighty and majestic. David S. Ware and company raise the bar on artistic heights, in all disciplines, world-wide, once again. In late November 2010, four men arrived at Brooklyn's Systems Two Studio to record an album. The web of musical, personal and spiritual connections that brought them together at that particular time and place is astonishing.

“The level of invention is staggering, Cooper-Moore matching Ware in every trill, arpeggio and overtone-laden growl with swoops, chordal passages and inter-registral showers of crystal. If Ware gets tonal, as on his solo beginning to “Shift”, Cooper-Moore is right there, expanding on every implication in Ware’s vast vocabulary. The team of William Parker and Muhammad Ali is no less engaging.”
—Marc Medwin, The New York City Jazz Record

“David S. Ware plays with such solemn power and majesty that his soloing begs comparisons to mountains or waterfalls. In fact, it’s hard to avoid ecological metaphors when discussing his latest album, Planetary Unknown, so completely do Ware, pianist Cooper-Moore, bassist William Parker, and drummer Muhammad Ali create their own world of sound, a landscape in which one can sense the presence of the divine in much the same way that Walden inspired Thoreau or Yosemite John Muir. Listening to this quartet makes Transcendentalists of us all.”
—Ed Hazell, Point Of Departure

“Planetary Unknown marks the first time this quartet played together, though that isn't apparent, given the music's deep roots and connections…the program has the air of a twenty-first century classic about it.”
—Nic Jones, AllAboutJazz.com

“…almost immediately the collective force of this stellar group kicks in, evolving dynamic forms that revitalize yet again the language of free jazz. Cecil Taylor once observed that John Coltrane’s tone was beautiful because it was functional, meaning that it was always involved in actually saying something, never an empty display of his formidable technique. Such functional beauty is the business of this quartet.”
—Julian Cowley, The Wire

“This is a really extraordinary album and is highly recommended…David S. Ware is one of a kind and every note is a treasure.”
—Tim Niland, Music and More

“Unified by shared histories, the quartet's inspired interplay yields passages of spontaneous invention that are staggering in their complexity and intuitive concordance, upholding Ware's transcendental spirituality with palpable conviction. Expounding on the diverse lineage of post-war free jazz traditions with unbridled passion and attentive congeniality, Planetary Unknown is a tour de force of free improvisation from four masters of the form.”
—Troy Collins, AllAboutJazz.com

“The four musicians had never worked together as a group when they gathered in Brooklyn in late 2010, but the seven tracks they laid down are gravity-defying.”
—Marcus O'Dair, Jazzwise

David S. Ware, Cooper-Moore, William Parker, Muhammad Ali - Planetary Unknown (2011)

There are few musicians quite as dedicated to their craft as saxophonist David S. Ware. Coming up on the loft scene, apprenticing with Cecil Taylor, driving a cab during the lean years, and surviving a kidney transplant, all of the ups and downs of his life go into the passion of his music. On this album, he is aided by an all-star group of free-jazz luminaries: William Parker on bass, Cooper-Moore on piano and former Albert Ayler sideman and brother of another drum great (Rashied) Muhammad Ali. Opening with a massive epic, "Passage Wadang" Ware's awesome tenor saxophone cuts like a laser, building a collective improvisation with big raindrops of piano splattering on the music's surface. Ware returns to the fray, getting wild and peaking with controlled shrieks. He holds a massive low note while the band swirls around him before the music ebbs to a spare and open conclusion. Reserved and haunted horn opens "Divination Unfathomable" before building to high pitched swirls of saxophone, developing faster, deeper, staring unflinchingly into the unknown. where all possibilities lie. Parker's bowed bass and Ali's nimble drumming accentuate the performance and propel it into the Cosmos. Parker is the key to "Ancestry Supplemental" with his massive tone setting the stage for fast and assured drumstrokes and a saxophone entry of extraordinary speed and power. Ware switches to sapranino saxophone for divination, which has a pinched Middle Eastern sound and developing a slow patient improvisation with help from Ali's nice brushwork. This was a really extraordinary album and is highly recommended. You can chart Ware's lineage in the depth and strength of the music, from a young devotee of Sonny Rollins and Albert Ayler, to a loft scene veteran developing his own unique sound to an esteemed elder statesman and master improviser and instrumentalist, Davis S. Ware is one of a kind and every note is a treasure.
