Garbarek plays Sanders ; WONDERFUL !!!

[@johnzias284]

Big early style Garbarek fan here. Also saw Pharoah as a kid perform this. Love that these cats were plugged into this stuff at such an early age, and then went on to become masters themselves.

RIP Pharoah Sanders

[@melvynbooker1058]

When he was young he could sound like Albert Ayler or Pharoah Sanders and phrase like Ornette Coleman. He could have stayed that way but chose ( like a true innovator) to evolve and make something new. Whether people prefer his earlier “rougher” sound doesn’t matter, he is one of the real greats in my view.

[@Roset03]

The first notes of this I was thinking like, dang this sounds like Pharoah Sanders. Then I read the description, haha. Just recently found out about Jan Gabarek. I really like what I hear.

[@teelurizzo8542]

Thanks fro shearing this rare video and great music.

[@carlosmartinez8543]

The only thing that could make this better is Terje Rypdal shredding Sonny Sharrock's guitar parts!

[@bmuhamad]

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, you need that guitar sound to "chank" & chime in. That Sonny Sharrock element, is the only missing. This performance is soooo cool. And they know it!

[@realvoicevideos3402]

I loved it until the rhythm section came in with the groove. Lol . Started sounding like The Beach Boys lol. I love the sax player though

[@stephencarroll230]

They were cool- even if they weren’t Americans!

What a document! Early Jan Garbarek playing Pharoah style on a King Silversonic horn!

[@Markus_Breuss]

[@relaxpayourincometax]

Love to know too.
I have the Pharoah Sanders’ LP ‘Tahuid’. This RUclips video was the most unexpected find. How cool are these cats!

Molde festival 1968. Jan at 21, Jon at 24, Arild at 23 and Terje at 23. Terje went on to establish the most incredible jaxx education i Norway in 1979 which in turn produced the next generation of ECM musicians.

Bb minor one chord jam

[@ancientsoundsfromthefuture4214]

Modal music doesn't have "one chord".

[@grantkoeller8911]

@@ancientsoundsfromthefuture4214 Many tunes are drone like with an extended vamp in one tonality. The rhythm section could be playing F Dorian, with a saxophone soloist using all 12 pitches in a more chromatic way, listen to Mike Brecker.

[@ancientsoundsfromthefuture4214]

@@grantkoeller8911 Indeed, but that doesn't make it "one chord" by any means. It's a common misconception because there's no chord progression and is often based in one tonality, although there can be many tonalities of course, but one chord it certainly isn't. Miles Davis said that Sonny Stitt never played So What correctly because he played it "Like it was a D minor chord". Listen to John Gilmore.
