Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold
Cascading celestes. Psycho percussion pounding precariously. Squealing saxes & speaking flutes; poignant piano and space chanting. All of these sounds and many more besides you may find on this new re-issue of Sun Ra - Featuring Pharaoh Sanders and Black Harold.
Originally recorded in 1964, but not greeting the public until 1976, this record mainly serves as a historical document and curiosity exhibition, for a number of reasons. First, and most notably, is this is the only recorded evidence of Pharaoh Sander's tenure with the Arkestra, on tenor saxophone, replacing mainstay John Gilmore, just a year before Sanders' famous stint with Coltrane, including the infamous japanese performances. Secondly, this record was recorded live during a performance, at a time when Sun Ra was mainly being recorded in studios and loft spaces, giving a picture-window perspective of the monolithic Arkestra performances of the time. Lastly, the next year would see some of the more mythic mainstays of the Sun Ra canon released, like The Magic City, so this serves as an interesting transitional document. Featuring Pharaoh Sanders and Black Harold also has the first recorded version of The Shadow World, here called The World Shadow in typically Sonny word-play. Read full review...
