A fascinating tribute to Coltrane, McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones from David S. Ware. "African Drums" sounds eerily close to Coltrane's take of "My Favorite Things" with a hint of the drum soloing of Jones on Coltrane's "Africa." Sure, Matthew Shipp's piano accompaniment and soloing is derivative of Tyner's singular style, but sometimes you have to take an homage for what it is. Ware's time to shine is distinct enough anyway.
