Live in Sant'Anna Arresi, 2004 is an album by American jazz saxophonist David S. Ware, a duo performance with pianist Matthew Shipp recorded in 2004 at Ai confini tra Sardegna e Jazz festival, but not issued until 2016 by AUM Fidelity label. It was the second volume in the David S. Ware Archive Series, after the expanded reissue of Birth of a Being.[1]
The All About Jazz review by Karl Ackermann says "we have unconstrained improvisation, sensibly executed with neither excess nor self-imposed limitation. Both Ware and Shipp effect knotty, non-linear phrases only to break off in unexpected directions."[2]
In a review for Down Beat, Bill Meyer notes "Shipp spends considerable time under his piano’s lid, creating otherworldly bursts of pure, fragile sound that contrast most productively with Ware’s fiery blowing."[3]
The Point of Departure review by Chris Robinson states "Ware and Matthew Shipp played a forty minute improvised duo set that is stunning in its urgency, vitality, virtuosity, and coherence as a large scale work."[4]
