He meant an awful lot to many of us here in NYC. There was great concern last summer when he missed the performance at the VisionFest. He was a big part of a special time and place.
What a sad occasion for such a fine post. Thank you!
Another sad loss, RIP.
RIP
and thanks!
I was so pleased to find something of Ware's that I hadn't come across before. And then it slowly dawned on me what it signified.
He's a huge loss, a mighty, mighty player.
Thanks for bothering.

Sad loss. He was torrential. I first saw him in San Francisco’s much-loved Keystone Korner in 1976 with Cecil Taylor’s Unit. He blew the roof off. CT, Jimmy Lyons, Raphe Malik and Marc Edwards. Every one of them did. CT, wearing shades and dark cap over the eyes all night, fled the stage the instant the music finished, as if not wanting to be recognized. Jimmy Lyons smoked all night long, either the alto or cigarettes. The band played six nights running, Tuesday through Sunday. I went to four, couldn’t find the energy for the missing two. It was all such a tempest.
David S. Ware RIP

Sad news. RIP David.
Thanks for the music and the memories David. The world will be a poorer place without you.
On a brighter note, be certain to check out the beautiful documentary short 'A World of Sound': http://dlf.tv/2011/david-s-ware/
The home footage of David improvising on the saxello and sopranino is entrancing. A lovely document. Such a colossal talent, such a gentle soul.
Best wishes Onx.
Great lost.Thanks for all.
very sad.
can someone post the mp3?
interesting that he went full circle and reunited with cooper moore in recent years.
I've been so busy with the recent storm here that I just heard about this. Truly sad. So many great records. Thanks for offering up these rarities to enjoy while thinking about all the times the Ware has given me so much joy.
the good die young--Ware went out with a bang (not a whimper)
