Title: Classic
Product review: What continues to amazing about Pharoah Sanders' late 1960s work is its almost deliberate contrast fromn the tenor man's work with John Coltrarne a year eariler. With the master, Sander's pressed through the music like a angry safe crcaker's angry drill.Sander's own music is airy: full of chimes, percusson, tastefully light drumming, and an overall neuance of quiet rain gently crawling down a window.Sander's soloing has not entirely changed: he still uses his shreiks and swarks, but is playing into the music, almost around it, not punching through it.Any of his 1960s-early 70s Impulse albums provide templates for new age, spacey fusion, world music, and the ambient hum of acid jazz. Lonnie Liston Smith began with Pharoah, and soon created a whole new sub-genre.Get 'em all. Start with this
