This is the best and most faithful tribute to the musical path traced by Coltrane: he lives again in Sanders' music. Thank you Pharoah for all you have given us, now you can duet with John again.
R.I.P. great Pharoah. Your sound and passion inspired me when I was young. I’m so fortunate to have got to meet and sit with you many times since. I love you and am thankful for your being on this planet at this time.
I truly believe that Pharoah is one of the chosen few, continuing the dialogue that John Coltrane began, especially given that he played with Coltrane during those years. I love this album.
I saw Pharoah Sanders in 1968 at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, CA. I knew how blessed I was then. Thank the LORD God Jesus Christ for this amazing technology. Life is wonderful let’s stop this hate and violence and look to peace and love in the Masters name! Please 🙏🏿
John Hicks is the secret sauce that makes this era of Sanders so damn tasty. There's no better piano player for making the front line sound incredible.
For 41 years this recording has remained at the top of my favorites…absolutely brilliant! R.I.P. Pharoah Sanders. Your musical legacy continues to enrich and inspire.
Is sad but you might be wrong. Me as 34 years old, polish man I clearly noticed that such masterpiece become a trash. All my life I'm trying to convince people to listen to jazz. You can try yourself and ask young people, young generation if they know what is jazz. Most likely none of them will give the righ answer. Moment you play for example "Lonnies Lament" by Coltrane they seems to be abused. They screaming "switch it off", "switch this shit off". I have no faith in young generation anymore. Guys wants to dress like a hooker and the girls become more masculine than a heavy lifter champion. God bless real artist, real music, real emotions, real humanity. I wish you guys all good and keep your head up in this tricky times we are facing now. Regards, Przemyslaw.
@@przemysawkizinski5024 I feel compelled to point out that your definition of "real" art is contingent on your own specific views of morality, which is entirely subjective. Man's tribal tendency to pit cultures against one another has led to the misconception that there must be a champion culture, one “better” than the others, a lifestyle more “moral,” an art more “real”. You are doing beauty a great disservice, as in reality, there is no "real" art, and therefore, no wrong answers. It is within this space that experimentation, the lifeblood of art, can thrive. If it weren't for the challenges to the status quo that you scorn, jazz could not exist. So we are fortunate to live in a world where “real” art does not exist, where variability is everywhere, where the opportunity in diversity drives creation, and where, since there are really no wrong answers, there will always be someone with an ear for these beautiful sounds. The fiction of art's death is an ancient trap that turns good men like you into curmudgeons. Don't be fooled! Instead, take a moment to innocently enjoy beautiful music, sit down with your children and share your art with them instead of sneering at them. Engage in conversation instead of just asserting false superiority. I find that doing so creates a much more hospitable environment for understanding and love. But what do I know, I’m just a silly teenager.
I was blessed in 1980. I met my brother Pharaoh at City College of New York. I saw him from afar, went to him with my baritone sax in tow. We spoke for about a half an hour as if we knew each other for years. He was and remains a beautiful spirit among us. Thank you for being who you are.
My eyesight must be going. I thought it said, "Bernie Sanders" on the Harmonium on track 5, and I thought, "that old dude is full of surprises." My ears work ok and I like this (and wonder if this is where Coltrane would have gone had he lived). But, then again, Coltrane was getting even further out than this. Anyway, unless Joe Biden is on the piano, I think he'll have time to campaign. Yeah, that has nothing to do with Pharoah Sanders. My mind is going too.
Pharoah's evocative music has been an ongoing revelation for me since 1970. I was fortunate to catch his unique sound in different venues through the years, from Detroit to San Diego & beyond. Sadly, we've lost another jazz master, but Pharoah's profound musical legacy lives on! The journey continues....
My musical and spiritual guide and guardian forever and ever. Highest of the highest blessings upon your soul. May you fly forver free and experience the joy and light that you expressed so well here in the physical world. Aum Sai Ram brilliant loving soul.
Sometimes I'm glad that some music doesnt get onto streaming services. The fact I've been loving Pharaoh's music for years, and I'm only just hearing this album for the first time, makes me appreciate it so much more. I'm sure there are dozens more gems he left scattered, I'll pick them up as I stumble through life
Every thing, from when I first heard him (Live at the Village Vanguard Again) I loved his sound his passion and spirit. A Great m😇an, Great Horn Player.
A true artiste in every sense of the word. I saw him at the Knitting Factory, Iridium and Birdland. I met him at JFK airport in the 90s and told him he was the best saxophone player sincece Coltrane. He laughed.
I did too. Every time he played in NYC. Iridium was a favorite when they were across from Lincoln Center, and before they sold out to the tourists and moved to Midtown. The knitting factory also was a great place for all kinds of music and sadly, the knitting factory is gone too. Birdland, same thing he was a true genius and I went backstage many times to talk with him a true gentleman and godly spirit, rest in peace brother Pharaoh
Astounding. No need for an exclamation point 'cause Pharoah's sax does that, and underlines it in capital letters. His erudite solos are like a physic's professor delivering a fire and brimstone sermon that lifts you out of the fires of purgatory and sends you careening across Heaven's endless skies of love and jubilation. Like Jimi, Ornette, Eric, Miles, Mingus, and Django, a One Of A Kind Never To Be Seen Again. And we have a kind of forever in the music they made, a glimpse of an eternity that by necessity cannot be eternal, but like all ephemeral Epiphanies they go on for ever and ever.
Well ,this album is not wel known in the uk,and so it was a god find ,largely because it is so well played ;also it has a very wide variety of styles explored on it.just wonder why not more wel known?
I didn't find out until right about when you posted your comment, @Keith Vallencourt. So sad. I hate the future. Glad me and my pals got to see him at Yoshi's about 10yrs ago
Yeah, and may Prince Zorthrax bless you with extra Crumbo Crystals as you you ride the Celestial Donkey through the entrance to heaven. Zorthrax built us with his flesh, and we will return to Zorthrax
Indeed, he carries the spirit of the Jelibaw (great male griots) of the Manden Empire. He definitely is a Jeliba of saxophone. Through his music he teaches history while uplifting the souls of those who listen.
@@DramaneDeme Wonderful explanation of his gift and purpose. Many of the greats in our musical tapestry exhibit these traits of extraordinary feeling and expression of the highest soul forces.
Rest In Power, master Pharoah! Your music has helped us all to heal, your songs have saved my life more than once! May you play onwards in heavens for all eternity, jamming with them angels! 💜💜
