On his second and final album for Columbia, saxophonist David S. Ware delivers some of his most conventionally beautiful music, and pays tribute to influences and former employers. The set commences with the shimmering call-the-church-to-order “Peace Celestial,” which is followed by a version of Charles Lloyd’s bouncing, joyful “Sweet Georgia Bright.” The original “Glorified Calypso” has the feeling of a tribute to Sonny Rollins, who favored the calypso form and with whom Ware studied as a young man. The album ends with a nearly 17-minute version of drummer Beaver Harris’s “African Drums,” which he and Ware had recorded as a duo in 1977. Shipp and Parker transform it into a modal vamp and the leader takes them all on an extended journey, first in and then all the way out.
