I am traveling to England in a couple of weeks. I just noticed that Pharaoh Sanders is playing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club when I will be in London. If I can get tickets, I will be there. I don't have a lot of Sanders' recordings in my library, but I have thoroughly enjoyed his tribute to Coltrane: Crescent With Love. This is a wonderful two disc set. Don't miss it. I am playing 'Crescent'. Here's the lineup:
- Double Bass – Charles Fambrough
- Drums – Sherman Ferguson
- Piano – William Henderson
- Tenor Saxophone – Pharoah Sanders
I am also playing 'You've Got To Have Freedom', from Live. I got this one on a business trip many years ago. It is one superb live album. Sanders opens up the cut with a very screechy intro, but hang on. It is freedom writ in musical notes. God, but I love jazz.
- Bass – Walter Booker
- Drums – Idris Muhammad
- Piano – John Hicks
- Tenor Saxophone, Producer, Written-By – Pharoah Sanders
