Pharoah Sanders Spiritual Blessings (jazz)(mp3@320)[rogercc][ ]

Pharoah Saunders Spiritual Blessings


Released : March 2013


Label : Verve


Format : Mp3@320



A wealth of spiritual blessings from the incredible Pharoah Sanders – a saxophonist who learned key lessons from John Coltrane, then really ran with his inspiration after his too-early death! The tracks here are all pulled from Sanders' sublime recordings for Impulse Records – amazing work that really helped redefine the sound of soulful jazz for the 70s – by adding in a spiritual undercurrent that really pushes the whole Love Supreme agenda forward strongly – not just through Pharoah's wonderfully raspy lines on tenor, but also via work here from Lonnie Liston Smith on piano, Leon Thomas on vocals, and Idris Muhammad and Norman Connors on drums. Every track is great – and the collection is perfectly put together to illustrate the most heavenly side of Sanders' music – with titles that include "Colors", "Astral Traveling", "The Gathering", "Memories Of Lee Morgan", "Upper Egypt & Lower Egypt ", "The Creator Has A Masterplan ", "Wisdom Through Music", and "Hum Allah Hum Allah Hum Allah"
