About the artist

Pharoah Sanders

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.
