An integral figure to the development of free jazz,
Farrell Sanders (Best known by his stage name
"Pharoah Sanders") has been referred to by
Ornette Coleman as "probably the best tenor
saxophone in the world", and has frequently been
mentioned in the same breath as untouchable
legends like John Coltrane or Sun Ra. As a
member of Coltrane's final quintet, as well as a
bandleader, Sanders' distinct performance style,
involving overblowing, multiphonic and harmonic
textures, as well as abrasive dissonance
helped set an encompassing blueprint for
the experimental free jazz sounds of the late
60s and much of the 1970s.
Sanders' wild and unhinged playing style takes
center stage on his 1982 record Live..., one of his
most raucous and accomplished live records
released. Sanders is joined by a powerhouse trio
of backing musicians, including John Hicks on
piano, Walter Booker on bass, and the great Idris
Muhammad on drums. By this point in his career,
Sanders had gradually begun to move away from
free jazz in favor of progressive and modal
sounds, but the sounds of his early
experimentations are still present and powerful
as ever, across four tracks clocking in at a
little over an hour in length.
