Re: Rest In Peace: Pharoah Sanders

#758

Post by keith »

Ornette Coleman called Pharoah Sanders the greatest tenor sax player the world and Sun Ra gave him the name 'Pharoah' (a play on his birth name 'Farrell').

After helping John Coltrane open listener's ears to 'free jazz' with "Ascension" (1965), Sanders, took it to another level with his masterpiece "Karma" (1969). Sanders later collaborated with Alice Coltrane (John's widow) to found 'spiritual jazz' with releases such as "Journey In Satchidananda" (1971). His work continued to push boundaries right to the end with the release of "Promises" in 2021, a collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra and the electronic artist Sam Shepherd, (also known as Floating Points). Sanders was 81 years old.

Pharoah Sanders: Jazz legend dies aged 81

Pharoah Sanders, Saxophonist and Spiritual Jazz Innovator, Dies at Age 81
Though Sanders recorded with Sun Ra, that material would not be released until years later. His first album (Pharoah’s First), on a small label, impressed John Coltrane, who invited him to join his group. Sanders was part of the murderer’s row of 11 legends who journeyed to Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 28, 1965. There they recorded Ascension, a free jazz landmark that is still decades ahead of its time.

Coltrane, who died of cancer two years later at the age of 40, found in Sanders a partner in the so-called “sheets of sound” technique that led many listeners on an inward journey toward discovery. In 1969, Sanders’s released his breakthrough, Karma, with its 32-minute track “The Creator Has A Master Plan.” The album was heavily influenced by non-Western musical and religious themes.
I was looking through YT for a couple videos to demo Sanders' work but found that someone else had already done an excellent job. I especially recommend number 2 in this collection "Journey In Satchidananda". a collaboration with Alice Coltrane).

No drugs or drug paraphernalia was found, they suspect Coolio had a heart attack.

We lost Mickey, our black cocker spaniel, a week ago. He was approximately 14 years old. Robert wrote his obituary.
Mickey went over the rainbow bridge peacefully & easily around 10 this morning.

Pancake helped supervise his interment shortly after.

All is well, though the hole he left will take some time to fill.

Thank you all. Our vet threatened to kidnap Mickey each time he was in for his yearly checkup because he said Mickey was the sweetest dog he ever treated. :lovestruck:
