David Spencer Ware (b. Plainfield, New Jersey, November 7, 1949) is an American jazz saxophonist.
He has recorded with Andrew Cyrille and Cecil Taylor, and has led his own quartet since the early 1990s. Pianist Matthew Shipp and double bassist William Parker have been in Ware’s quartet steadily; drummers have changed: following Marc Edwards, Whit Dickey, and Susie Ibarra, Guillermo E. Brown is now the drummer of the David S. Ware Quartet.
