Pharoah Sanders

Jazz Album Review: A Splendidly Spiritual Conversation — “Promises” with Floating Points and Pharoah Sanders

Dedicated to experimentation and creative collaboration, Promises delivers an otherworldly, dreamlike experience.

Sometimes Pharoah Sanders came back and played like a primordial saxophone deity, cutting into the rhythm section like an act of penetration.

Large parts, if not all, of this well played, eclectic disc should appeal to various tastes in modern improvised music.
