After a decade+ of top operation, and a dozen profound albums to prove it, we have here the very highly anticipated album #13 from the David S. Ware Quartet. Following two beautiful and critically acclaimed albums for the Columbia label, ways were officially and mutually parted in January. Wasting no time, AUM brought Ware and his Quartet into the studio in February.

This album is a 'first' for Ware in a number of important ways; perhaps the most compelling is his incorporation of synthesizer into the sonic template. This marks pianist Matthew Shipp's recorded debut on the instrument.

Corridors & Parallels adds further to a visionary group concept that has found the band consistently navigating the outer reaches of sound, and then bringing it all back home. Plus, there ain't a damn thing out there like this.
