Description
180g audiophile double vinyl reissue of saxophonist Pharoah Sanders' 1982 LP 'Live', featuring Walter Booker, Idris Muhammed and John Hicks, with re-mastering by Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering. Includes the bonus track "Doktor Pitt", which is not on the original vinyl release.
"This album features Pharoah Sanders playing some no-nonsense tenor in a quartet with pianist John Hicks, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders performs "It's Easy to Remember" (in a style very reminiscent of early-'60s John Coltrane), an original blues, and two of his compositions, including the passionate "You've Got to Have Freedom." The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form." - by Scott Yanow, AllMusic
Press:
"This is a glorious, jubilant performance that reminds us that Sanders was at his most effective communicator when he had an audience, like a righteous preacher feeling the spirit with the faithful." - Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise
"Another important set of material from the archive recordings of Pharaoh Sanders." - UK Vibe
"Kudos to Pure Pleasure Records for releasing this update vinyl of Pharaoh Sanders - Live. The sound mix is balanced with great stereo separation. The performance shines a light on a bona fidelity jazz legend!" - Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition
