Pharoah Sanders: tenor saxophone; William Henderson III: piano; Alex Blake: bass; Hamid Drake: drums. Recorded live in Leverkusen, Germany, 19th October 1999.
When I was 14 my guitar instructor told me "If you want to be a great lead guitarist - you need to study the music of John Coltrane" and that started a journey that led to hearing Pharoah Sanders - I've been a fan for over 40 years, and today am listening in honor of his amazing life. RIP.

That's such excellent advice. Listening to Coltrane forces you to LISTEN/FEEL the music and how he leads (on a completely different instrument), in contrast to focusing on string technique. Without the strings, you're left with simply learning about the musicality. Once you get the feeling, technique would follow.
Listening to this magical performance on this day that Pharaoh Sanders left his body. The Master is gone but his music belongs to eternity. Thank you, Mr. Sanders. RIP.
We were so lucky to have him. Between Alice and pharaoh I actually developed a sincere deep spiritual feeling within. Maybe not in the sense of an Abrahamic god, but we are all deeply connected in ways we do not understand. Thank you pharaoh, thank you turyiasangitaananda.
This song brings back wonderful memories of my college years! I also had the great pleasure of seeing Pharoah Sanders perform at the Village Vanguard in NYC.
This in my opinion is one of the best live interpretations of this song in the last 20 years. The first two minutes are a prayer. Thank you for your preference. Pharoah forever.
The rest are the answer to prayers. I don't profess to love all Jazz but he is one of the few I dig and can "touch" me with his music. So good to see that he is still doing it!
Nobody like Pharaoh , there will Never be another !!! First saw him perform The Creator Has A MasterPlan 51 years ago when I was 15 , at the Greek Theater in Berkeley CA , he took everyone there Astral Traveling !!!!
Wow I just got goosebumps reading your comment. I would have love to have been there. Wowwww (are there any artists in general currently that can do this)
@@sundaymoon000 Hi Cynthia , and Thank You Much for your comment reply !! No , there is nobody that can compare with Pharaoh Sanders in any era since him !! Also listen to Let Us Go Into The House of The Lord and also Thembi !! Peace and Blessings 🙏
@Stacey Michaels Thank you for sharing your memory, it jogged a vague memory of that place, back when raised in Bay Area pre hordes and went everywhere for great music! Such great blessings and same to you and everyone.
Chris, not to worry you are not alone. Crying is the way to express ones inner feelings. Please you and I are part of The Creators Master Plan. Stay safe my brother, stay safe.
I cry to this song a lot.. and Love is Everywhere, and sometimes Healing Song, and sometimes You've Got to Have Freedom. Peace and happiness for everyman ❤
I'm an old man. Back in the 1960s and 70d, critics cited avant-garde jazz musicians who "couldn't play," and Sanders and Archie Shepp were obviously the targets. Here we are many years later--they turned out pretty good, yes? Great Black Music, Ancient to the Future...
So this brought tears to my eyes...Tis is the first I've heard of this Light, this Earthly Lantern, now Ascended Master. Just the sight of Him, his everything I can't find a word for coupled with the supporting sounds... I feel compelled to apologize and to show gratitude, to paint and to write and to sing...Pharoah means King. He seems to have been so much more...in this solitary instant......
I saw Pharoah in the early 2000s. He played for about an hour but time time seemed to distort. It seemed more like 5 to 10 minutes had passed. I was totally transfixed. Thanks Pharoah for a transcendent experience..
my Dad played Coltrane but i didn't really discover Pharoah Sanders until some rough college days in the 1970's ~ Truly his Spirit has Returned to the Stars! the Song has ended but the Melody lingers 💖🎷🎶🌟🌌
My white boyfriend introduced me to jazz,including Pharaoh, in the 70s. Imagine that. At time when the races were moving toward healing. It cldve been.
This is a tremendous fan.I am 61 now. I started listening to the Legendary Pharoah at the age of 12. My buddy Tony introduced me to him. His older brother was grooving to him .
What we all wouldnt give to have met John Coltrane, let alone dueled fiercely on saxophone with him for several years. Pharoah Sanders is genius incarnate. Performing live NYC April 2018.
hey Byron I'm 84 in ,March. started listening when I was. in 30s. OmG...I fell in love w. Pharoah. Trane. Alice the.....haven't stopped. wont ever. im Blessed
RIP Mr Pharaoh Sanders (born 1940 - passed to ethereal realms 2022). Your beautiful, mysterious music of the Spirit will be discovered by generations yet to come
Yes, Still My Favorite Jazz Artist and Still My Favorite Song In The Whole Wide World. So Blessed To Have Met Him and Had A Great Time With My Siblings Talking To Him His Birthday Was Tuesday 10-13th I Love You Sir. Mr Pharaoh Sanders. May God Bless You Infinity.
Amazingly as I was reading your comment about the "double up" dance jig Pharoah.....he was doing it!!! What were the chances of that! Synchronicity! Peace and Love. Continue In Power! 🎶🎷🦋🎷🎶
I didn't get thd opportunity to hear these guys in their prime....its a children of the 90s problem,....but i bought a cd about ten years ago with this track and man was it beautiful. Had never heard of pharoah but i was blown away
I first heard this tune on an alternative radio station in Chicago in 1971. I called up the station to ask who it was, they told me, I bought the LP the next day. This live performance is a bit different from the recorded version, but still excellent. RIP to a master!
I first heard this song in the live version of Santana & John Mclaughlin -live at Montreux... I then did a lookup to find the original version of PH Sanders. What a great experience. Will further explore the music of PS
Was introduced to (Master Plan) by my cuzn, Ron. Caught the band's performance at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago. Truly an experience I have not forgotten and have treasured since!
Jazz on a spiritual level, with Leon Thomas who fully comes of age on vocals & percussion & into his own on this track, with absorbing musicianship from Pharoah Sanders on this uplifting etheral Jazz killer track
You are a lucky man!!!! Wonderful concert, we had the chance to have seen only 3 songs recorded on video, I'm looking for the recording of the whole concert. I believe that the introducion (first 2,15 minutes) is to be considered as the best live performance of this song both for Sanders' performance and for the extraordinary interpretation of the musicians Alex Blake on bass and Hamid Drake on drums. Pharoah forever!.
Hello@@MrCRESCENT40. The whole concert should be avaiable, because as far as I remember, it has been broadcasted on german TV back then. Anyway, thaks for posting. PS: Yesterday I saw the Sun Ra Arkestra live in London. Great!!
I seen Pharoah Sanders one time in the late 60s so you know the temperature of the scene..I was at Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit Michigan..they played well..when I seen/heard Lonnie Liston Smith start jammin' and the Pharoah grabbed a finger piano>>sounded like a kids toy so I laughed a bit...I was close enough to him that he glared at me thriough his fronts..me I was trippin' trying to keep it straight and keep ordering drinks..I knew what a finger piano was ...it was the drugs...but I did not mean to disrespect the music or the master..this is indeed classical music...in the truest sense of the word.......thanks for posting..keep us 'UP" on PHAROAH SANDERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WOW !
I forgot how much I love this piece. What a master of melody!! Now i have to add this to my playlist. Thanks for posting this: it brings back memories of my dad who was a huge jazz aficionado.
Your loving spirit will always be with us....great to hear your soulful voice on this performance...was blessed to feel you live a few times...Rest in Power Pharoah...will write some music to honor you !!
I have been a fan of Pharaoh Sanders for many years. The way he plays the saxophone can bring a tear to eye and a chill down my spine. Mystical and sublime.
