[Music] Pharaoh Sanders

[Horses Arse]

Passed. Saw him at We Out There very recently. Big loss but on borrowed time clearly. His son was fantastic, the legend lives on

I've come late to Pharaoh, but what a talent.

Absolute genius saxophonist. I saw him at one of Russ Dewbury’s Jazz Bops in the 90s. He was mesmerising.

I was too stupid or skint to take the opportunity to see various jazz legends - Ornette Coleman, and Sander's mentor Sun Ra come to mind - but I was lucky enough to see Pharoah perform a couple of decades ago, and it was a fantastic show. Throughout his career he was capable of the most abrasive, bracing blowing (as a young gun with Coltrane's group), and of gorgeous cosmic jazz, including with Alice Coltrane. Promises, his collaboration with Floating Points, and the LSO, from last year, is transporting. I shall be listening to it, and many other PS recordings over the next few days.

Thanks Pharoah

Legend. Saw him in ‘93.
I’ll be playing many of his Impulse recordings over the coming days.

Saw him at Ronnie Scott's a couple of times, a venue that was perfect for him. One of the great names of jazz. RIP
