Surrendered (album)

Surrendered is an album by American jazz saxophonist David S. Ware which was recorded in 1999 and became his second and final release on the Columbia label.

[1] This is the first record by the David S. Ware Quartet with drummer Guillermo E. Brown replacing Susie Ibarra.

Ware plays Charles Lloyd's "Sweet Georgia Bright", a piece included on Lloyd's debut Discovery!, and a long rendition of Beaver Harris' composition "African Drums", which Ware originally recorded with the drummer in 1977 as a duo.

[3] All About Jazz writer Glenn Astarita wrote: "All in all, Surrendered might truly represent one of Ware’s finest recordings to date as no two songs sound alike which makes for a divergent and noteworthy mix while Steven Joerg’s sharp and insightful production only enhances the overall scenario.

In any event, if you’ve been a bit skittish or reluctant to delve into David S. Ware’s musical world, Surrendered might signify an appropriate place to start".
