Oblations and Blessings is an album by jazz saxophonist
David S. Ware, recorded in 1995 and released on the
Silkheart label. It features the David S. Ware Quartet with pianist
Matthew Shipp, bassist
William Parker and drummer
Whit Dickey playing all original Ware compositions.[1]
In his review for
AllMusic, Don Snowden states "No one who hears Oblations and Blessings could ever doubt the generosity of Ware's offering here. The man must have been absolutely, utterly drained—emotionally, physically and spiritually—after this session."[2]
