PHAROAH SANDERS - Welcome To Love - 2LP - Black Vinyl [AUG 29]

2LP - Reissue Black Vinyl

Pharoah "Farrell" Sanders was a towering figure in jazz, revered for his deeply spiritual sound and distinctive tenor saxophone tone. While best known for his fiery, avant-garde work alongside John Coltrane, Welcome To Love reveals a more restrained and tender side of the legendary saxophonist.

This 2LP compilation features Sanders interpreting classic jazz ballads with warmth, grace, and emotional depth. From his delicate phrasing to the rich, soulful tone of his horn, every note resonates with heartfelt expression. He’s joined by a stellar trio: William Henderson on piano, Stafford James on bass, and Eccleston W. Wainwright on drums, providing an elegant and sensitive backdrop.

The album includes a special bonus track 'Moonlight In Vermont' adding to the collection’s romantic and reflective mood.

Welcome To Love is now available as a deluxe double album on classic black vinyl, offering a rare glimpse into the softer, more melodic dimension of Pharoah Sanders’ legendary career.
