Produced by Steven Joerg and David S. Ware

Renunciation was recorded live at Vision Festival XI on June 18, 2006 at the Orensanz Art Center in New York City. It was posited as the last ever U.S. performance by David S. Ware’s revered Quartet. Featuring three profound new compositions (the beauty ballad Ganesh Sound, the epic Renunciation Suite centerpiece, and the condensed encore), this concert and exquisite recording thereof offers the Quartet at a new height of their powers. A magnificent performance by one of the greatest Jazz bands the world will ever know, and which may well indeed have been their very last here in the country which birthed them. -SJ
