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.

[@JClore1950]

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.

[@lastdaysguitar]

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.

God Bless his Soul for leaving such fond musical memories! Big Up to the Musical Master!!

[@alphi3000]

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.

[@wmwinterbottom]

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.

Omg that must’ve been an amazing show! The Greek is my favorite venue ever. Just learned that Pharaoh Sanders lived in Oakland for a time too.

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...

[@yudeen979]

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......
