Pharoah Sanders

• CD JEWEL CASE FORMAT

Recorded live in concert, summer 1998, this recording marks the first movements of a group who's dynamic and scope will long-live and inspire throughout the world. Painting with words like percussive and of the wind tell of the direction, where simply saying that two drummers and a reedman join in sonic expressions might sound limiting.

This is a truly forward project that gracefully channels the eternal spirits of the cosmos and translates ancient codes. From words read in the inside panels, Musharef Khan explains that, "the mind that has been trained to feel can by means of the emotions go behind an unfamiliar form and touch it's soul." Such minds have collaborated in a free, spontaneous and, possibly conversely, meditative session to transmit through sound. Spirits.
