PHARAOH SANDERS 80 years
PHARAOH SANDERS
Pharoah Sanders’ debut on
Impulse Records
from 1967, with
Sonny Sharrock
on guitar.
In the album’s liner notes, Pharoah says, “I don’t really see the horn anymore. I’m trying to see myself. And similarly, as to the sounds I get, it’s not that I’m trying to scream on my horn. I’m just trying to put all my feelings into the horn. And when you do that, the notes go away.”
Recorded November 15, 1966 at Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Original liner notes by Nat Hentoff and cover photography by Chuck Stewart.
Happy 80th birthday to NEA Jazz Master and tenor saxophonist legend Pharaoh Sanders #pharaohsanders #thembi #creatorhasamasterplan #thepacereport
