PHAROAH SANDERS - Live... (2023 Stereo Remastered Reissue) - 2LP - 180g Vinyl [JUL 7]

2LP - 180g Audiophile Black Vinyl Reissue with re-mastering by Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering.

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 infuence 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 fdelity jazz legend!" - Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition
