Birth of a Being presents the debut of the trio called Apogee -David S. Ware , Cooper-Moore , Marc Edwards -originariamente printed on vinyl by Swiss label hat Hut in 1979 and remained out of print for more than thirty years, more than a second of material CD coming from the same session and never published until now. If the debut album by the saxophonist leaders of Plainfield, New Jersey, lays the foundation of the celebrated quartet that recorded for Columbia and DIW in the nineties, the unpublished material heard in the second CD, while lacking the compactness and the impact force of the previous, however, contains more than a source of interest.  The beginning of everything is "Prayer," a mission statement that will accompany Ware throughout his career until his premature death in October of 2012. That is a tremendous spiritual inspiration which is expressed through grueling rides on tenor who moans, screams , screaming, whispering, communicates all the possible range of feelings, passions, joys and sorrows with repetitive notes and crazy spirals. Edwards on drums provide a rhythmic hellish, stifling, does not grant reprieve while Cooper-Moore becomes the alienating element, dissonant clusters and transform his piano in contrast fluid for the reaction of the trio.  Music that stuns, that leaves you breathless and without appeal, the tradition as an irreplaceable sap, expressive frenzy as the only escape route. 

The sublimation of this aesthetic will be completed, it was said, in the albums of the nineties especially in Godspelized , one of the vertices of a musician and as few others endeavored to gather and expand the legacy of John Coltrane. The second CD, as well as an alternate take of "Prayer" still interesting, shows the more reflective side of Ware. "Cry" and "Stop Time" -over thirty minutes overall -privilegiano interplay, the trio balances into its components, loses some vehemence and visionary but enhances the dense web of connections that are established between musicians in full harmony and wrapped in a sort of enigmatic suppleness. "Ashimba" sees Cooper-Moore grappling with a xylophone of its construction (a practice that more and more will refine over the years, that of the construction of original instruments) for two minutes of pure ancestral magic. While "only" it is the lone breath of Ware, the final prayer of a nodal registration for the developments of the David S. Ware career. Precious.
