Music

As in previous DIW sessions, the quartet plays two standards, Eddie Heywood's "Canadian Sunset", which Ware first heard when he was young on Prestige record Boss Tenor by the saxophonist Gene Ammons, and two different versions of Walter Gross' "Tenderly". "Cococana" is dedicated to the Dutch filmmaker Coco Schrijber, who made the documentary about Ware In Motion.[1]

In his review for AllMusic, Don Snowden wrote, "Earthquation is almost certainly a lesser work in the David S. Ware discography."[2] By contrast, The Penguin Guide to Jazz says about the album that "is the more visceral to date, and the first that really begins to push the envelope; Coltrane, Ayler and Sanders suddenly do seem like a generation back."[3]
