Surrendered is an album by jazz saxophonist David S. Ware which was recorded in 1999 and became his second and final release on the Columbia label.[1]
This is the first record by the David S. Ware Quartet with drummer Guillermo E. Brown replacing Susie Ibarra. Ware plays Charles Lloyd's "Sweet Georgia Bright", a piece included on Lloyd's debut Discovery!, and a long rendition of Beaver Harris' composition "African Drums", which Ware originally recorded with the drummer in 1977 as a duo.[2]

In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states: "David S. Ware's second Columbia release is characteristically aggressive and anguished, but it is not atonal... Ware's music contains more conventional harmony, melody, and rhythm than is often supposed".[4] All About Jazz writer Glenn Astarita wrote: "All in all, Surrendered might truly represent one of Ware’s finest recordings to date as no two songs sound alike which makes for a divergent and noteworthy mix while Steven Joerg’s sharp and insightful production only enhances the overall scenario. In any event, if you’ve been a bit skittish or reluctant to delve into David S. Ware’s musical world, Surrendered might signify an appropriate place to start".[3]
