Fairly momentous recording of what might be the final U.S. gig from the David S. Ware Quartet. Many aspects of this recording lend itself to the feeling of an occasion - the devotional feel of "Ganesh Sound," the boisterous response of the audience, and Lewis Barnes' enthusiastic MC work. As was their wont at other stages of development, the group makes effective use of breaking the quartet down into solo, duo, and trio configurations, which results in the full band material delivering full oomph when they all come together. Apart from their live standard "Mikuro's Blues," all other compositions are previously unrecorded.

David S. Ware: tenor saxophone
Matthew Shipp: piano
William Parker: bass
