I feel such an intense sense of sadness that the "son" has passed. Pharoah has been part of life since 1969. John Coltrane was so influential, however, I discovered Pharoah at age 17 after John's death in 1967. Pharoah I have lived with your musical progress ever since, on LP, CD and live video. Your profound spirituality has been a foundation to my life. It will continue. May your life's work never be forgotten, Maestro. You have guided many souls to a better life path. Bless you forever.
I am so sad and glad at the same time, im so grateful and thankful that this giant gave us so much beauty that its beyond words. Ofcourse i am sad because he left his body in this world but he will never leave us through his music and his power in wich he will never trully leave this world. because he will live on in our minds and hearts. He made me change my life/career by picking up my horn again and making it my goal in life. Never ending respect and love for this man, Rest in Power!!!!
RIP Pharoah. You brought other worlds to reality for so many of us. I will never forget listening to Coltrane's Ascension for the first time and hearing your horn leap out of another dimension with a burry, fiery luminosity that made the instrument all but invisible. (And that's saying a lot for the tenor.). Thanks for the unyielding focus on your Creative North Star,: your artistic integrity is a beacon for all Music for all time. You are now with the Eternal, which is but a continuation of your great and beautiful Life. Thanks...bottomless, endless thanks.
RIP? In eternal power you will stay and continue your work ... Pharoah opened so many doors at least for me. There is this "Astral Travel" "Red, Green and ..." thing. When I listened to Astral Travel to get through the day, and I listened quite a lot, I had to hurry to push the stop button because the colors would have awakened me from my day dream and the intended relaxation. Then it happened that I continued listening ... don't know why and cannot tell what it was ... methinks it told me something about what we can experience when we stretch out our senses to that what is really real. Ken Mo has one tune entitled "The Door". i heared a silent calling calling softly my name, no need to be ashamed// and i noticed that the door was always open ...
I just learned that this fantastic tenorsaxophonist is dead. I feel very very sorry for that! Pharoah was one of the last giants in jazz. There are so few left now - Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Keith Jarrett, Sonny Rollins, Roy Haynes and a handfull more. All these have meant so much for me during all years ever since I startet to listen to jazz! I will keep them in my heart as long as I live!
RIP. The great spirit flowed within him. He gave all us so much enjoyment. Jazz is unique in that people are allowed to be characters or caricatures they choose and people love them. I wish the World would carry that tune in their hearts everyday. Thanks
I knew both of these beautiful Musical Masters. John Hicks was from my home town and met him in undergraduate school at S. I.U Edwardsville, IL. In 70s and then again at a Jazz Club in New York City in 1975. Met Pharaoh in San Francisco at Keystone Corner Jazzclub where he was performing with Leon Thomas also from my home town of E.St. Louis. Invited them both to dinner at my home in Oakland, CA. but Leon wasn't able to come. Pharaoh came and I made dinner and we ate and talked for 4 hrs.I asked what inspired him to create his music? He said Obviously the Spirit Within. He also said the music he was currently playing he created 20 yrs ago. I asked why not now. His reply was because people were not ready for the music he was creating in the present During his visit in my home alone with me did he ever do or say anything inappropriate to me. This Musical Master Shaman Sir Pharaoh Sanders Spirit and music will stay in my heart forever. I am heartbroken and sad to know his physical presence is no longer with us. However as mentioned Spirit s Don't Die! A National Treasure,Beautiful Soul & Gentleman will be missed. ♥️🕉️
I was lucky to see Pharoah Sanders twice - once at Yoshi's in Berkeley with Miya Masaoka playing the koto. And once at Yoshi's Jack London Square in Oakland. Watching/hearing music in a small club that holds less that 300 people is just a joy.
Some friends and I were able to see, hear, and even perform from the audience's perspective at Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California, in the early '70's, (probably 1973). What a joy!
I have so much love for his music and respect for him as an artist. His essence will be greatly missed by me. I am immensely grateful for all the music he gave to us all!
His contribution to this black developed and polished scientific artform called Jazz is immense. He shall be foreever be in the minds & hearts of Jazz music lovers. He left us a consoling legacy that can be enjoyed by whosoever wish in his public unwritten will. I am like many others are grateful that you ever lived. RIP
This giant! This genius! This brother! This man! I am forever grateful for the gifts he now leaves us to cherish until the end of our days. Thank you. Sweet sleep Pharoah...
Pharaoh Sanders played with ferocity as well as sublime lyricism. His "Creator Has A Master Plan" is one of my favorite tunes of all time, and I've listened to this song over the past 45 years more times than I can count. And his other compositions, including Hum Allah Hum Allah are embedded in my musical mind. I was so sorry to hear of his passing, but I know Pharaoh Sanders has left an indelible and enduring musical legacy for this and future generations. I am thankful to have seen and met this legend...His set at The Jazz Showcase was AMAZING and memorable. And sharing time together with him in The Green Room before his gig was GREAT! I knew I was in the presence of a LEGEND. He graciously autographed an album I'd brought to his gig. This album remains on the wall of my music practice room to this day, and just looking at it inspires me as I practice my trumpet each day. Thank you Pharaoh Sanders for all the inspirational and at times turbulent and difficult to listen to, but always sublime music you brought to so many. I, along with many, many others, will miss you.
RIP Pharoah. I met this giant in Oakland, California at Laney Jr. College(Lake Merritt). Outstanding musician and human being, will be missed but always here thru his music! Loved this brother!!!
Trane told him to pick up after he'd exhausted himself in performances during 65-67, kind of like passing the baton. And he did so magnificently every time. Saw him at the Jazz Cafe in Camden Town, 2002. Incandescent! Said nothing; just played...
Quand on entend le nom Phaorah (magnifique prénom) Sanders, on pense tout de suite à Free Jazz. Là, je découvre un sax au son chaud sur un thème musical très beau. Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo.
Je suis dans la même situation, comme un fan de Jazz, bien avant sa mort, je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion de savourer son grand talent. Quel dommage! Je vais le découvrir après sa mort. Mon vieux repose en paix!
Thanks for this. I accidentally flicked over the closed caption icon at the bottom of the video. It popped up "Subtitles/Closed captions unavailable". None required. Everything was clear. I still have the ticket stubs from his concert in Edinburgh (Scotland) 26th April 2002. His was a powerful presence and I'm glad I had the opportunity to see him perform. Another good one gone.
A legend passes but he will never die .. he lives on forever in his music ; a true gift of peace and love to the World which is needed now more than ever . Thank you Pharoah . RIP
I’d heard OF Pharoah but I’d not HEARD Pharoah until now. My instructor and I were working through some tunes that reminded him of Mr. Sanders and while I must say that though there are precious few of the “jazz greats” left, Pharoah Sanders has more than earned the title. RIP and we’ll jam together on the other side.
Rest in Peace to my favorite Jazz Musician, Pharoah Sanders. I was saddened Saturday reading the headline on Apple News. The Creator Has a Masterplan was immediately played.
I can’t even express what an impact Pharoah and his music had on my life. I first heard his music when my husband purchased the album Karma in 1971. It spoke to everything I am since then. I purchased every album he had available at that time and since then. I always turn to Pharoah’s music whenever I need a healing spiritual presence. Thank you so much for giving me and the world such a blessing with your music.
I saw him one time wearing all white walking through the Berkeley Flea Market he was an ethereal presence even as he was shopping for things this is the passing of a great man and a great part of a Great era God bless and bless his family with his passing to be an ancestor
He is in the biggest band of all with: DIZ, GROVER, DUKE, YUSEF, HEATH BROS, MILES, ERIC, TRANE, MARY LOU, HAZEL, BILLY, SARAH, ESTER, MCCOY, IDRIS, PRES, CARMEN, ALICE TO NAME A FEW AND GABRIEL DOING THEIR THING REST IN POWER WITH THE GOATS !
I saw the Great Pharoah at the Univ of Michigan Ann Arbor (excellent acoustics at the auditorium) in 2003 and was transfixed since i first saw him 30 year previous in New York City with Weather Report headlining. He did not miss a beat. His was a happy saxaphone that drove sadness aside -cleared the waters in one's head- so that whatever load one went into his performances with they were quickly forgotten. Rest Well you tarried well and brought joy to many other human beings. Grateful for your life brother.
It’s sad that I’ve now came across this great man after his passing. His music was prolific and he has become a great inspiration for me to conquer my musical aspirations. Thank you for your ethereal sounds. May The Most High Welcome You Back Pharoah
Thank you Bret. This is a vital capture. I have enjoyed John Hicks in different contexts and with many players. Including the redoubtable Betty Carter and his flautist wife! However, in this particular example with Pharaoh I have begun to realize that there is much in common with the ebullient pianism of McCoy Tyner. Wonderful flow and ebb ( if that expression is applicable!)
I remember first just stumbling across his song Harvest Time (which is my favorite) in 2021 when I was looking for some Chillhop/Jazzhop type of music, I immediately had to go and get his work. Truly a legend.
Unfortunately just learning about this great talent that is now gone. Regardless, I plan on finding more music by Mr. Pharoah Sanders. May he rest in peace! 😔
I feel such an intense sense of sadness that the "son" has passed. Pharoah has been part of life since 1969. John Coltrane was so influential, however, I discovered Pharoah at age 17 after John's death in 1967.

May your life's work never be forgotten, Maestro. You have guided many souls to a better life path. Bless you forever.
Wow Tony, this is so deep, I can feel it a million miles away.
My oldest brother turned me on Pharaoh's music when Tauhid was first released. Instant connection up to this very day. I was in my teens at the time..
I loved his work many years ago with Don Cherry, on Where Is Brooklyn, which revealed even more of Pharaoh's Rollins-esque linear playing.
He will truly be missed.
For sure.
I am so sad and glad at the same time, im so grateful and thankful that this giant gave us so much beauty that its beyond words.
Ofcourse i am sad because he left his body in this world but he will never leave us through his music and his power in wich he will never trully leave this world. because he will live on in our minds and hearts.
He made me change my life/career by picking up my horn again and making it my goal in life.

Now it brings Pharaoh, you, with the Creator in closer embrace than ever. Together.

RIP master Sanders. Hatts off to the pianist as well. Incredible musician's. Respect from india
Last couple of years have been rough in the loss of some great’s in jazz.
RIP brother Sanders.

There are so few left now - Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Keith Jarrett, Sonny Rollins, Roy Haynes and a handfull more.
All these have meant so much for me during all years ever since I startet to listen to jazz!
I will keep them in my heart as long as I live!
It's sad to see them go, but their music is eternal.
Pharoah Sanders thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with the world. Your spirit in your music will live on forever. RIP.
Beautiful no barriers in his flow 🎷
he is a waterfall!! force of nature!
Wow, we will all miss him RIP, God had a Master Plan after all.
RIP Pharoah Sanders. While you were on earth you made great jazz music for people to listen to.
RIP Master Sander from Dominican republic great musician all time.

@@JazzVideoGuy yes and most grateful! Thank you for this video!♥️🕉️🏵️
I hear you now and today for the first time !!....at my beautiful age of 70 !!
I was lucky to see Pharoah Sanders twice - once at Yoshi's in Berkeley with Miya Masaoka playing the koto.
And once at Yoshi's Jack London Square in Oakland.
Watching/hearing music in a small club that holds less that 300 people is just a joy.
Me too 🙌🏽
I'm so grateful that I had a chance to see both of these great men in concert. Thank you both for such great music, you'll live on forever.
RIP, Farrell Sanders! Gente Giant Father of Spiritual Jazz
Absolutely beautiful.... Thanks so much for posting this.....
my honor
This is a wonderful and beautiful performance by both musicians.
Soul touching!!!
Some friends and I were able to see, hear, and even perform from the audience's perspective at Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California, in the early '70's, (probably 1973). What a joy!
Wow, how amazing! I saw Pharoah Saunders in a concert in the 90s in Toronto and it sure seemed like his fingers never stopped moving.
The ✨️ among ✨️. True legacy never dies. Thank you Legend. 👑🖤
so beautiful... thank you for sharing
A fantastic performance here with Pharaoh playing with much fluidity and assurance. Thanks for this special upload.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for setting the spiritual groove Mr. Sanders. Rest In Perfect Peace
I have so much love for his music and respect for him as an artist.
His essence will be greatly missed by me. I am immensely grateful for all the music he gave to us all!
Discovered him by accident and didn't know about his music at all. Great musician. RIP.
No accident just you attracting you
I admire the technique and sound of this genius and saxophone master. Rest in peace.
His contribution to this black developed and polished scientific artform called Jazz is immense. He shall be foreever be in the minds & hearts of Jazz music lovers. He left us a consoling legacy that can be enjoyed by whosoever wish in his public unwritten will. I am like many others are grateful that you ever lived. RIP
well said
RIP
Your concerts were our place of sanctuary & intersection Forever Thanks & Blessings
I AM SPEECHLESS. HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME- I LOVE ASTRAL TRAVELING. WE WILL MISS YOU MY MAN, BUT THE CREATOR HAS A MASTER PLAN.
This giant! This genius! This brother! This man! I am forever grateful for the gifts he now leaves us to cherish until the end of our days. Thank you. Sweet sleep Pharoah...

Pharaoh has returned to forever. Absolutely beautiful, thank you.

Always a very distinctive sound, sometimes gentle, sometimes ominously powerful!
There's no death, just music in another realm. Thank you for small gems.
I like your perspective Uranija and your name
RIP Pharoah. I met this giant in Oakland, California at Laney Jr. College(Lake Merritt). Outstanding musician and human being, will be missed but always here thru his music! Loved this brother!!!

Glad you enjoyed it

“Pharaoh Sanders (a corruption of his given name Ferrell Sanders)”
I never heard his music , I love Jazz ,listening more of his music never to late to learn the life of his music
Je suis dans la même situation, comme un fan de Jazz, bien avant sa mort, je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion de savourer son grand talent. Quel dommage! Je vais le découvrir après sa mort. Mon vieux repose en paix!
Thank you for the video and the wonderful “liner notes.” ❤️
Glad you dig!
Thanks for this.
I accidentally flicked over the closed caption icon at the bottom of the video. It popped up "Subtitles/Closed captions unavailable". None required. Everything was clear.

So true. No replacement for Pharoah.
A legend passes but he will never die .. he lives on forever in his music ; a true gift of peace and love to the World which is needed now more than ever . Thank you Pharoah . RIP
We’re so sad but he’s free to converse with the creator and roam the universe now.
Yes, so true.
saw him in Frankfurt beginnin' 70's...Tahuid lp time...I died listenin' to his sudtelness...
To the greatest!!! Love from Nepal….. will be missed.

Rest in Peace to my favorite Jazz Musician, Pharoah Sanders. I was saddened Saturday reading the headline on Apple News. The Creator Has a Masterplan was immediately played.
RIP
I miss him now and it will be a long time before I will accept that he has taken what is the step we all take through the next door.

Alive forever in our souls 😊

Thank you for all the beautiful Music you so generously and freely gave to us, RIP.
Thank you for sharing this video. This performance welled up my eyes from start to finish. 😢❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would there be a genre called Spiritual Jazz without Pharoah Sanders and his music? I don't think so.
Ehi...are you forgetting Jhon Coltrane???!!!...
@@stefanoamodio8943
No.
Sun Ra too. Doug and Jeane Carne as well.
Coltrane and Sun Ra were innovators of the genre too. Pharoah kept it alive. RIP maestro.
Rest in peace pharoah sanders,till meet again
He is in the biggest band of all with: DIZ, GROVER, DUKE, YUSEF, HEATH BROS, MILES, ERIC, TRANE, MARY LOU, HAZEL, BILLY, SARAH, ESTER, MCCOY, IDRIS, PRES, CARMEN, ALICE TO NAME A FEW AND GABRIEL DOING THEIR THING REST IN POWER WITH THE GOATS !
Blessed 🙌 😇 wowwww he's blowing that saxophone 🎷 👏
This video & these words are more than beautiful ..... Thank You ... simplicity & its grandness💖💥💫😎

Weather Report and Pharoah Sanders! That must have been some double bill.
Que músico incrível....
Rest in Power Mr. Sanders.
It’s sad that I’ve now came across this great man after his passing. His music was prolific and he has become a great inspiration for me to conquer my musical aspirations. Thank you for your ethereal sounds. May The Most High Welcome You Back Pharoah
His music is eternal.
The great floreal jazzman ever... Eternity love🙏🙏🙏
Rest now Pharaoh. Bless his heart and family.
R.I.P My Master !!!!
Absolutely Stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
Immenso..
R.i.p.
So beautiful,Dr. Master of Jazz!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you Bret. This is a vital capture. I have enjoyed John Hicks in different contexts and with many players. Including the redoubtable Betty Carter and his flautist wife! However, in this particular example with Pharaoh I have begun to realize that there is much in common with the ebullient pianism of McCoy Tyner. Wonderful flow and ebb ( if that expression is applicable!)
John was a superb, exciting player, and really sweet cat.
Best Tenor player ever. BDE
memories eternal
I remember first just stumbling across his song Harvest Time (which is my favorite) in 2021 when I was looking for some Chillhop/Jazzhop type of music, I immediately had to go and get his work. Truly a legend.
A wonerfully humble, soft spoken man.
Sad to hear of his passing... Thank you for sharing the video....
Unfortunately just learning about this great talent that is now gone. Regardless, I plan on finding more music by Mr. Pharoah Sanders. May he rest in peace! 😔
you'll find quite a bit of Pharoah on RUclips
One of a kind...RIP Pharoah...
still love his work!!
Awesome
I saw Pharaoh with John Hicks at Jazz Alley in the aughts.
I was transported
The Seatimes music writer failed to appreciate all the beauty
The last of the jazz Giants! RIP Pharaoh.
Nah
Digo simplemente : "Gracias Maestro Pharoah".
A Giant of Jazz in every way....
I listened to Pharoa sanders in my youth.
Amazing. Rest in peace.
How beautiful.
Gorgeous
My two favorite Sanders: Pharaoh and Bernie!
Colonel?
Wow he was one of my favorites
Another great and might tree has fallen...But man, what a sound he left behind !
Thanks, Rod Luther ... Discovered your contribution only after my question ...
Great Guy, will never forget his show in São Paulo
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jazz Video Guy, thank you for the wonderful essay by Jon Pareles
Jon is an excellent writer.
stumbled onto this! glad I did, and immediately I hear Dilla samples..
