“The fluency and fluidity with which he rapidly unspools ideas is startling. Whether alone or joined by Parker and Smith, Ware unfurls long expository statements with virtuosity and a mastery over phrasing, rhythm, and accent in ways that are exemplified by literary giants such as Thomas Pynchon. Breathtaking.” –Point of Departure

“A thing of pure joy, with moments of both gathering storm and meditative calm, rendered with technique and velocity that boggles the mind. A treasure trove of music – highly recommended.”
–The Free Jazz Collective

“5 Stars. The music is always searching, but never lost. Clear lines of thought breaking into the paradox of beauty. The beauty of improvisation and the immense valley of emotions. Not just a concert, but a journey.” –All About Jazz
