David S. Ware

[Nikolai Shienok]

This is an urgent notice on David S. Ware's health.

David needs to find a kidney donor. David S. Ware was diagnosed with kidney failure in 1999 and he began dialysis that fall. He had an intensive three week hemodialysis regime toward beginning peritoneal (self-administered) dialysis, which would allow him to travel. David has been on this self-administered dialysis regime multiple times every day and night since October 1999. While certainly difficult, he has been able to travel, and perform his music undiminished, since then. However, late this past December, David called to say that after 9 years this treatment was no longer working as it had been, and that a kidney transplant is the only viable option for his survival. Since then a number of friends and family members have offered to give him one of their kidneys. Unfortunately, they have all been disqualified due to health reasons or not having David's blood type, O.

Some basic/initial requirements for viable donors are that they must be under 60 years of age, do not have diabetes or high blood pressure, are in
general good health, and have blood type O (either O+ or O- is fine).
The hospital where a transplant would take place is the very highly regarded Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ

Willing and able potential donors should please get in touch with us as soon as possible:
Steven Joerg, (David S. Ware's manager) telephone: 718 854 2387
We will then get them directly in touch with the Kidney Transplant Center at RWJU Hospital to begin the screening process for donor viability

вот занял меня вопрос были ли сольные записи у глубокоуважаемого мистера Уэра? ответ оказался были: Live at Netherlands (если вдруг есть у кого, поделитесь, а?). но это не полный ответ. полный ответ: были и будут.
насколько я понял, как раз с этого проанонсированного концерта

AUM Fidelity is proud to announce the March 9th release of Saturnian (AUM060), the first in a planned series of limited edition solo recordings by eminent saxophonist/composer David S. Ware. Recorded live at New York's Abrons Arts Center, this release documents Ware's triumphant return to the stage in October following a successful kidney transplant. Each of the three extended pieces is performed on a different instrument: saxello, stritch and tenor saxophone.

"To perform solo saxophone is who I have always been," writes Ware in the liner notes. "This is the way I've practiced all of these years, as though I am performing a solo. It is just as satisfying as playing in any other context. The freedom allows you to witness and solidify what is passing through. There's a voice inside each saxophone, expressing different orders of Being. When you listen, learn to open your third ear. Listen for the voice inside the music. It will expand who you think you are."

As reported in such high profile outlets as the New York Times and NBC Nightly News, kidney donor Laura Mehr saved an ailing Ware's life after a decade of chronic kidney disease, but 2009 was as much about musical renewal as personal adversity. His 50th year as a saxophonist began with the release of Shakti (AUM052), the recorded debut of his first working ensemble since his seminal quintet (1989-2007), and ended with his first-ever concert performances on stritch and saxello, Shakti on numerous best-of-the-year lists and preparations for two forthcoming 2010 releases.

Critics called Shakti "highly intriguing" (Jack Cooke, Jazz Journal), "towering and incandescent" (Andy Hamilton, The Wire), "a bold new statement from a true innovator" (Marc Medwin, Dusted) and "a mighty return for one of the greatest players alive today" (Chris Jones, BBC). PointofDeparture.org editor Bill Shoemaker adds, "There are plenty of saxophonists who have a commanding presence; few have as many ways of establishing it as Ware. Shakti is both a successful turning of the page for Ware, as well as a reminder of just how compelling a figure he remains."

"In the course of a career that has involved considerable sacrifice and humility," wrote Brian Morton in The Nation, "he has created a body of work that is—uniquely on the current scene—epic." Active since the late 1960's, Ware has performed and recorded with such notable figures as Ahmed Abdullah, Andrew Cyrille, Bill Dixon, Marc Edwards, Beaver Harris, William Hooker, Cooper-Moore and Cecil Taylor, but he is best-known for his legacy as a leader, defined by his trademark sound, a devout spirituality and masterful interplay with his all-star ensembles. His discography features nearly 25 titles under his own name, including 17 at the helm of the David S. Ware Quartet, which helped redefine creative improvised music throughout the 1990's and beyond.
