The Trio Plays Ware is an album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp performing music composed by saxophonist David S. Ware, which was recorded in 2003 and released on the Italian Splasc(H) label. The trio with Shipp, bassist William Parker and drummer Guillermo E. Brown was at the time of the recording the rhythm section of the David S. Ware Quartet.
Reception
In a double review for All About Jazz, Jeff Stockton notes that "You keep waiting for Ware to burst in, but he doesn't, and you're left with Shipp's densely barometric piano, Parker's stirring contrabass and Brown's structural drumming."
