Pharoah Sanders (Live Video - 1968)

[@Pugetwitch]

Rest in peace, legend. Without you I don't know where I would have gone as far as digging in the crates went. This man led me to some of the greatest musical adventures of my life.

Pharoah went where and as far as The Creator intended. Creator love him for what HE intended for him to communicate to the World! He completed his mission which will continue throughout time without memorial! PBUH!

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Sad to hear of Pharoah Sanders passing. I'm so glad that I was able to become friends with him, as we both lived in the East Bay around the same time. I also shared the stage with him on occasions as well.Great musician and a very humble and kind man he was. RIP

[@zeeuwsvlaanderen1]

Will put my old LP on the turntable tonight from the late 60's with 'The Creator has a master plan'". Hope so, but have some doubts... Would like to meet him when I'm gone.. Not possible.. Being here from 1947, we lose more and more the great jazz icons.. Jazz today is underestimated by young people.. Greetings from The Netherlands..

[@Pugetwitch]

And now our king Pharaoh Sanders is gone too. I hope they're all jamming out beyond our earthly perceptions in a universal dimension.

[@brötzmannsax]

@@Pugetwitch The Creator has a master plan, to reunite the Holy Trinity of Pharoah, Trane & Ayler.

[@aaronmccoy5524]

i remember seeing the Pharoah in 1996 in oakland and Santana was sitting in the front row drinking sake. He was bobbing his head around like a little kid, making faces at the musicians. Sanders absolutely burned the house down.

[@ompiba]

Nice anecdote!

[@aaronmccoy5524]

Funny I met Santana last year. I was playing my sax in Sausalito by the ferry and he appears outta nowhere and starts telling me how I have a gift from God. Spends the next have hour with us playing pharaoh sander tunes on his iPhone and others sax guys , saying ' have you heard of this guy' he loves tenor players. He took down my number and email but I never heard back from him. It was pretty surreal.

[@kr9825]

amen Pharaoh

[@Malikthedestroyer]

Pharoah influenced Coltrane do your research. That’s why Coltrane picked him up and put him in his band. Pharoah is an originator of the solos . Coltrane plays more militant and is poised with his attack . While pharaoh is firing on all cylinders constantly . THEY ARE LEGENDS FOREVER

[@DramaneDeme]

I want to know more about that. By the way, I'm not surprised at all. For some reason, I always felt that Pharoah Sanders had something raw than Coltrane, but not being a musician I could never articulate it in musical terms. The more I ponder on it, the more the African man in me oriented me to this idea that Pharoah Sanders is led by the spirits of our ancestors who made him a voice for all our people who suffered so much throughout history. Yes, I do hear in his notes so much of pain, resilience, hope, yes hope for a vibrant renaissance. I also hear him say, "never forget though" ! Please tell me more of your musicological reading of the two legends. Thanks a bunch in advance for your reply. I'm Dramane Deme, a filmmaker from Burkina Faso in West Africa.

[@busterwoodruff-bryant4473]

@@DramaneDeme I would perhaps say pushed is a more suitable word than 'influenced'. Coltrane set off on the path that would lead him to this vein of jazz as early as 1960, frustrated by the restrictions that bebop and straight-ahead jazz came with. Pharoah would have only been twenty in 1960. Trane was definitely influenced by Ornette Coleman and John Gilmore however - Ornette Coleman definitely being one of the first jazz musicians to look away from western musical elements in favour of those from Africa and India. It wasn't just for musical reasons though, it was likely as a result of his ongoing mission to praise God through his music. The spirituality that Coltrane expressed in his music was definitely a big influence on the younger generation of musicians at the time, i.e Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, Milford Graves etc. Trane was known for letting a lot of young musicians sit in with his band in his later years - he actually was the one who recommended that Impulse sign Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and Marion Brown. I think a reason for you perceiving Pharoah as rawer than Trane is perhaps due to Coltrane's achievements in Jazz prior to changing his style of playing in the 60s - he was already one of the greatest saxophonists for straight ahead jazz. Coltrane had already the greatest chops it was possible to have and had no limitations to his playing if you know what I mean. Whereas Pharoah (and many other players of his generation) didn't spend as much time studying traditional jazz - they just saw the light illuminated by Coltrane and went straight to that. Anyway, I hope you get what I'm trying to say. Pharoah Sanders definitely brought a new dimension to Coltranes group which is I guess why Coltrane chose to make him a full time member in his later years. Trane and Pharoah are without doubt my two favourite musicians, not trying to put the two against eachother or compare - just trying to help Dramane out. Dramane, in terms of reading you might enjoy 'John Coltrane and The Jazz Revolution of The 1960s' by Frank Kofsky, 'Chasin the Trane' by J.C Thomas, 'Coltrane on Coltrane' and also, Ashley Kahns book on A Love Supreme covers some of this topic if I remember it correctly. This is insightful too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epazkn2ArNyfn9k Hope that makes some sort of sense. Love and blessings from South London. P.S Would love to hear more about your films.

[@brianhammer5107]

However, sometimes Sanders actually hurt the music - not everything worked. His best solo albums are better than his best in Coltrane's band. By a ways, too. His work with Alice Coltrane's records could also sometimes be sublime.

[@jeffdawson2786]

Trane was such an influence on young players that anyone who picked up a tenor was called a copycat. There is no heir to JC. He was inimitable down to his excruciating dental pain. Sanders is already distinctive here and unusually minimal. Compared to Ayler and Shepp, he was an angel. This is the definition of a live team effort.

[@numbernine2207]

And there was no bigger influence to JC than Yusef Lateef's late 1950's SAVOY LP's. 1957's 'Before Dawn' on VERVE Trumpet label w/Deep Groove. That recording is so stellar!!!
