Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue.
In 1978 Pharoah Sanders went into the studio with pianist, Ed Kelly, who was an important figure in the local San Francisco and Oakland jazz scene. The two of them recorded six tracks which ranged from covers of standards, through soul jazz through to two real gems. The album was originally released as "Ed Kelly And Friend" due to Pharoah being contracted to Arista Records at the time. Indeed, as you can see, the cover shows Kelly playing next to Pharoah's hat, shoes and Selmer tenor saxophone.
"The album stands up alongside many of the renowned albums from the Theresa record label catalogue and its a welcome first-time reissue on vinyl." - UK Vibe
