Title: pharaoh & sharrock together = major skronk fest
Review: Three minutes into the first track and you know what you've let yourself in for. Theme stated, pleasantries dispensed with, Pharaoh Sanders launces into the stratosphere with his trademark wailing tone. Sharrock joins him while Charnet Moffett and Elvin Jones rumble and churn down below. Both soloists lay out while the rhythm section makes its move. Elvin Jones, what a powerhouse! Listen closely during his solo, he growls along with his kit. All 4 meet back at the theme while Sanders thrashes and groans. Bass and drums signal the fade-out. Truly first rate stuff, a heady mix of traditional and free-jazz sounds.
