Pharoah Sanders (born Ferrell Lee Sanders; October 13, 1940 – September 24, 2022) was an American jazz saxophonist. Known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of “sheets of sound”, Sanders played a prominent role in the development of free jazz and spiritual jazz through his work as a member of John Coltrane’s groups in the mid-1960s, and later through his solo work. He released over thirty albums as a leader and collaborated extensively with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Alice Coltrane, among many others. Fellow saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as “probably the best tenor player in the world

Previously unreleased live recording from spiritual jazz saxophone titan Pharoah Sanders and his all-star quartet featuring pianist John Hicks, bassist Curtis Lundy and drumming great Idris Muhammad, who are in scintillating form across five epic tracks, including the classic “You Gotta Have Freedom” and “The Creator Has a Masterplan”.
This release in a series of live recordings of concerts from the “Fabrik” in Hamburg, one of those hidden treasures from the archive of the NDR, was intended to bring back the memory of changes and revolutions in the world of jazz of more than four decades ago. It has now turned into an obituary – at the end of September 2022 the tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders passed away at the age of 81.
Pharoah Sanders was wandering along spiritual paths at the core of modern jazz, while always keeping in touch with “Mother Africa”. It is a special experience to accompany this quartet on their journey once more.

Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra – Promises (2021)

As many classically-inspired composers have moved from acoustic instruments into electronics, the possibilities of collaboration with jazz players has increased. Despite instrumental firepower and the best intentions, the history of jazz-classical blendings—specifically with tenor players like Wayne Shorter, Anthony Braxton and Ornette Coleman—has been mixed, finding the most success when the reeds are an integral part of the composition. Here the wise, eminently accomplished 80-year-old Pharoah Sanders—whose career has lived for the edges—has teamed with young UK composer Floating Points (aka Sam Shepherd) and the strings of the London Symphony Orchestra for a realization of Shepherd’s “Promises.” A collaboration of nine unnamed movements that run as one long (46:37) intricately constructed piece, Shepherd’s plethora of keyboards (many of them vintage synthesizers) effectively mesh with Sanders’ gift for breathy, urgent skronking. Recorded at Los Angeles’ Sargent Studio and London’s Air Studios, and mixed by Shepherd at EMS4 in London, Promises is dreamy, mysterious and close-miked to the point where you can hear Shepherd’s fingers on the keys.
