Our Take

Pharoah Sanders, the legendary saxophonist whom some have dubbed the "High Priest of Cosmic Jazz," has returned with his latest offering Moon Child. This album, released on stunning orange/gold marbled vinyl, is a testament to Sanders' continued exploration of the far reaches of musical experimentation.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, Moon Child transports you to a celestial realm where jazz and spirituality collide in a cosmic dance. Sanders' iconic tenor saxophone soars and wails with a fervor that is both primal and ethereal, weaving intricate melodies that seem to defy gravity.

The album's title track, "Moon Child," is a mesmerizing journey through pulsating rhythms and otherworldly harmonies. Sanders' playing is as daring and unpredictable as ever, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with a saxophone.

Tracks like "Celestial Bliss" and "Astral Travelling" further showcase Sanders' mastery of his craft, as he effortlessly shifts between frenetic improvisation and serene contemplation. The result is a sonic experience that is as transcendent as it is exhilarating.

In a music landscape dominated by cookie-cutter pop and soulless electronic beats, Pharoah Sanders stands out as a true original. Moon Child is a testament to his enduring creativity and innovation, proving once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of jazz. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Pharoah Sanders take you on a journey through the cosmos.

With his towering presence and unmistakable tenor saxophone, Pharoah Sanders is a force of nature in the world of jazz. Born Farrell Sanders in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1940, he began his musical journey at a young age, playing in various R&B bands before eventually finding his home in the avant-garde jazz scene of New York City in the 1960s. Sanders' music is an expansive, spiritual journey that transports listeners to another realm. His free-form improvisations, soaring melodies, and primal screams have earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative and influential musicians in the history of jazz. Sanders’ music is a sonic exploration of the cosmos, with each note serving as a portal to another dimension. His collaborations with the likes of John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, and Sun Ra have solidified his status as a true jazz luminary. His seminal album "Karma" is a prime example of Sanders' ability to blend the sacred and the profane, with its hypnotic grooves and transcendent solos. Tracks like "The Creator Has a Master Plan" showcase his gift for crafting epic, otherworldly compositions that continue to resonate with listeners to this day. Now in his eighties, Sanders continues to push the boundaries of jazz with his fearless experimentation and unwavering commitment to his craft. Whether performing in intimate jazz clubs or headlining massive music festivals, Pharoah Sanders remains a towering figure in the world of music, always in search of new sonic frontiers to explore.
