1	Karma (1969) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Pharoah Sanders' third album as a leader is the one that defines him as a musician to the present day. After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date. There are only two tracks on Karma, ... see all copies from $8.59! new only from $10.44!
2	Tauhid (1966) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Tauhid marks the 1966 Impulse debut of tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, who had already gained fame as a flame-throwing saxophonist of the "new thing" playing with John Coltrane. However, Sanders' tenor appearance doesn't saturate the atmosphere on this session; far from it. Sanders is content to patiently let the moods of these three pieces ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
3	Elevation (1973) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Elevation, Pharoah Sanders' final album for Impulse!, is a mixed bag. Four of the five cuts were recorded live at the Ash Grove in Los Angeles in September of 1973, and the lone studio track, "Greeting to Saud (Brother McCoy Tyner)," was recorded in the same month at Wally Heider's studio. The live date is fairly cohesive, with beautiful modal ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
4	Journey to the One (1980) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Formerly a Theresa double LP, this single CD contains all ten of Pharoah Sanders's performances from the sessions. As usual, Sanders shifts between spiritual peace and violent outbursts in his tenor solos. The backup group changes from track to track but often includes pianist John Hicks, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders ... see all copies from $14.49! new only from $14.49!
5	Love Will Find a Way (1977) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist see all copies from $11.52! new only from $11.52!
6	Jewels of Thought (1969) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist In 1969, Pharoah Sanders was incredibly active, recording no less than four albums and releasing three. The band on Jewels of Thought is largely the same as on Deaf Dumb Blind and Karma, with a few changes. Idris Muhammad has, with the exception of "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah Hum Allah," replaced Roy Haynes, and Richard Davis has permanently replaced ... see all copies from $4.85! new only from $12.51!
7	The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Like the Archie Shepp and Alice Coltrane volumes in the Impulse Story series, the Pharoah Sanders issue is one of the flawless ones -- despite the fact that it only contains four tracks. Ashley Kahn, author of the book the series is named after, wisely chose tracks with Sanders as a leader rather than as a sideman with John Coltrane (those were ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
8	Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool is undoubtedly the most successful incarnation of the Red Hot albums whose proceeds go toward research in fighting the AIDS virus. Unlike fellow albums in this series, which generally reinterpret the work of several classic songwriters (Gershwin, Porter, Jobim, etc.), Red Hot & Cool is a collection of new material ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.99!
9	Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong (1987) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Although Pharoah Sanders was originally considered a firebrand, thanks to his wild early free jazz work in the '60s, his later records are actually more in the tradition of players like his one-time leader John Coltrane and, especially, Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The title track from this 1987 session could have been on any of Kirk's Atlantic albums, a ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
10	Message from Home (1996) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist The world music-minded producer Bill Laswell gets a hold of Pharoah Sanders here and lo, the sleeping volcano erupts with one of his most fulfilling albums in many a year. Message From Home is rooted in, but not exclusively devoted to, African idioms, as the overpowering hip-hop groove of "Our Roots (Began In Africa)" points out. But the record ... see all copies from $29.95! new only from $50.00!
11	Priceless Jazz Sampler (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Priceless Jazz Sampler offers 15 highlights from BMG/RCA's Priceless series, including cuts by Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Woody Herman. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners curious about the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.60!
12	A Prayer Before Dawn (1987) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Recorded in 1987, A Prayer Before Dawn is one of Pharoah Sanders' gentle, reflective dates. Some jazz fans may cringe at his versions of "Christmas Song" and Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All," but the music displays a heartfelt spirituality as opposed to financial slickness. It is the opposite of Sanders' characteristic fire-breathing ... see all copies from $3.82! new only from $11.51!
13	Welcome to Love (1990) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist When this was first released, the slow, straight sounds of Pharoah Sanders on a series of mostly famous ballads came as a bit of a surprise to some. Others saw Sanders as following the road of his mentor, John Coltrane, who had recorded most of these tunes himself. In retrospect, the inside playing of Sanders is less of a surprise, the saxophonist ... see all copies from $10.95! new only from $14.41!
14	With a Heartbeat (2003) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist OK, this sounds like a pretty hokey concept: Pharoah Sanders and some of Bill Laswell's Material crew perform along with recordings of a heartbeat, supplied by Dr. Jean-Louis Zink. Fortunately, it comes off far better in execution than one might expect. First off, the heartbeat itself is sonically treated to be more of a bass pulse, which Laswell ... see all copies from $13.26! new only from $13.26!
15	Live (1981) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist This album features Pharoah Sanders playing some no-nonsense tenor in a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders performs "It's Easy to Remember" (in a style very reminiscent of early-'60s John Coltrane), an original blues, and two of his compositions, including the passionate "You've Got to Have ... see all copies from $11.09! new only from $11.09!
16	Thembi (1970) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Recorded with two different ensembles, Thembi was a departure from the slowly developing, side-long, mantra-like grooves Pharoah Sanders had been pursuing for most of his solo career. It's musically all over the map but, even if it lacks the same consistency of mood as many of Sanders' previous albums, it does offer an intriguingly wide range of ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $12.49!
17	Crescent with Love (1992) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist This two CD set from the Evidence label features tenor-saxophonist Pharoah Sanders accompanied by a supportive rhythm section (pianist William Henderson, bassist Charles Fambrough and drummer Sherman Ferguson). Although there are some passionate moments, this is actually one of his mellower sessions and he explores such songs as "Misty," "In a ... see all copies from $25.05! new only from $27.55!
18	Black Unity (1971) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist By 1971, Pharoah Sanders had taken the free thing as far as he could and still live with himself. He was investigating new ways to use rhythm -- always his primary concern -- inside his music and more tonally strident ways of involving the front line in extrapolating tonal and harmonic diversions from the melodic framework of his music. To that ... see all copies from $15.88! new only from $15.88!
19	Priceless Jazz (1997) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Priceless Jazz Collection is a midline series GRP assembled with the intention of providing affordable introductions to several of the most popular artists on their label. Pharoah Sanders isn't necessarily well served by this approach, since his music works better in the context of the original sessions, but the collection nevertheless is an ... see all copies from $13.74! new only from $13.74!
20	Pharoah's First [Bonus Interviews] (2005) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
21	Rejoice (1981) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Originally a two-LP set on Theresa, this single CD (which contains all of the music) features Pharoah Sanders in excellent form in 1981. Sanders sounds much more mellow than he had a decade earlier, often improvising in a style similar to late-'50s John Coltrane, particularly on "When Lights Are Low," "Moments Notice" and "Central Park West." The ... see all copies from $6.09! new only from $13.45!
22	Roots of Acid Jazz [GRP] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $2.16! new only from $41.03!
23	Deaf Dumb Blind (Summun Bukmun Umyun) (1970) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist After Karma was issued and Sanders had established himself -- to himself -- as a musician who had something valuable and of use to say, he was on what this critic considers to be a divinely inspired tear. Deaf Dumb Blind is an example of that inspiration. Beginning with the title cut, a suite of over 21 minutes, Sanders brings in the whole of his ... see all copies from $7.80! new only from $12.49!
24	Now Is the Time: Live at the Knitting Factory (2000) more music like this by The Alex Blake Quintet & Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Now is the Time is a series of impeccably performed tracks culled from Alex Blake's live sessions at New York's Knitting Factory. Though nothing intensely brilliant evolves out of Now, the musicianship is paramount and unmatched on any late-'90s jazz recordings. Blake, who started as a bass player in Sun Ra's Arkestra at a very young age, sits ... see all copies from $13.98! new only from $34.98!
25	Shukuru (1985) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist A mid-'80s session reuniting a great team from the '70s--vocalist Leon Thomas and tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders. They don't take things as far outside as they did then, but still soar and glide while pianist William Henderson, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Idris Muhammad fill in underneath them. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.51! new only from $11.51!
