    Pharoah Sanders (born Farrell Sanders; October 13, 1940 - September 24, 2022) was an American jazz saxophonist. A member of John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s, Sanders was known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound". He released over 30 albums as a leader and collaborated extensively with Leon Thomas and Alice Coltrane, among others. Saxophonist Ornette Coleman described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world".
    Sanders' music has been called spiritual jazz due to his inspiration in religious concepts such as Karma and Tawhid, and his rich, meditative aesthetic. This style was seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders was considered to have been a disciple of Coltrane or, as Albert Ayler said, "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost".

    Your description of Pharaoh sounds so much like what people said about Fred Anderson when he passed. They will endure in our memory because people who he touched will make sure of that. Thanks for making a outsider like me appreciate the artistry of this unique man.

    Pharaoh’s albums on the Impulse label in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s were seminal expressions of spirituality and black pride and power. They remain relevant to this day and take me back to my teenage years. There was no thought of commercial appeal it was art for art’s sake. He made an impact on the long history of this music and will be missed. I’m not sure but, I think he was one of the last living links to John Coltrane who actually played with him.

    • @written12

      That his music served both seminal expressions of black pride and sublime spirituality accounts for the love of his music found among people around the world.

      There’s a film in which David Murray is talking to his elders about Trane. They are surprised when Murray says he never heard Trane live. Not only are those who played with him dwindling, so are those who even heard him in person.

    Very eloquent statements you make integrating into your epitaph for Pharoah Sanders over the last day! Spirituality and SOUL are the essence of great music and the ingredients of jazz for sure. Interesting the comment that Trane didn't talk about the music! That is one of the ironies of playing in a band so many times I barely knew my bandmates outside the music! Floating down the river of music and life! Enjoy the music!

    Pharaoh, Trane and all their contemporaries channeled the energy of humanity and the universe in the sounds that they made. Sounds as vibrations that added to the world. We need more of that. Long live Pharoah Sanders

    "Deaf Dumb and Blind" was my first Pharoah Sanders album. It's amazing that this kind of records made it all the way to Portugal in the seventies, up to "74" the country was governed by a fascist regime, that was in power since 1926. Censorship only went after music with lyrics, so Jazz music was not censored.

    I gravitated to Pharaoh in the ‘70’s. He came to Joe Segal’s Jazz Showcase for a week. I made the first set, got a great table a couple feet away from Pharaoh’s bell. That first set changed my life. I blew off a week of college, and caught every set that week. The passion, power and his sound is still with me.

    “If there is a future on earth for humanity…” I feel the same way these days. As a younger person with my consciousness developed, I find it very difficult to justify my musical self nourishment considering the immense change which we as a species need - change which is long overdue. Some days I feel as if I do not put away all my instruments and seek to redevelop discourse of change, no human will have a future available to practice or play in. Perhaps a convergence of the two is necessary.

      I don't know what the future holds. But I'm 73 and only have so many years left. While I'm here, more Jazz Video. And hopefully, I can help as many people as possible.

      No, not at all. I lived in and around NYC from '68 to 2001, and until 2016, I was in the city two or three times a year. But my work and travels haven't taken me to the Magic City since 2017.

    I been listening to his message from home album last week, not knowing that pharoah was going to leave us.
    But he brought beauty to the world. I do not think he knew he was great.
