PHAROAH SANDERS - Message From Home - LP - Black Vinyl [AUG 29]

LP - Reissue Black Vinyl

Originally released in 1995, Message From Home is a transcendent journey through sound, blending Pharoah Sanders’ spiritual jazz legacy with hypnotic hip-hop grooves and rich African rhythms. Produced by the visionary Bill Laswell, this album is a testament to Sanders’ boundary-pushing artistry in the later stages of his career.

The lineup is as impressive as the music itself: Foday Musa Suso brings the shimmering textures of the kora, Bernie Worrell infuses funk and soul through his unmistakable keys and vocals, while Charnett Moffett, William Henderson, Dominic Kanza, and Jeff Bova round out a dynamic ensemble that moves effortlessly between tradition and innovation.

Highlights include the mesmerizing Our Roots (Began in Africa) - a hypnotic, groove-laden meditation on cultural origin - and five other deeply immersive tracks that explore themes of ancestry, unity, and transcendence.
