Album Review

Formerly a Theresa double LP, this single CD contains all ten of Pharoah Sanders's performances from the sessions. As usual, Sanders shifts between spiritual peace and violent outbursts in his tenor solos. The backup group changes from track to track but often includes pianist John Hicks, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders really recalls his former boss John Coltrane on "After the Rain" (taken as a duet with pianist Joe Bonner) and a romantic "Easy to Remember"; other highpoints include "You've Got to Have Freedom" (which has Bobby McFerrin as one of the background singers) and the exotic "Kazuko" on which Sanders is accompanied by kato, harmonium and wind chimes.

Customer Reviews

Perhaps the Master's Best

I'm a huge Pharoah fan. As a whole, this might be the very best of his albums. And it might just be that you need to be a seasoned Pharoah fan to appreciate the fullness of the beauty of this album.

very diverse...

This album was surprising to me because I'd heard three tracks which were kazuko after the rain and soldedad... when I heard these (especially soldedad) it was almost enlightening with such a spiritual sound. Then I got the album and found some more good tracks on it, and then I heard 'think about the one.' What the HELL is that doing on this album?? anyways do I think it's worth the buy... yes absolutely there are some truly amazing tracks on here but at the same time one or two really wierd kinda corny ones as well... give it a listen!

The Genius still blows

I've been listening to this genius since high school when I bought the new lp release of Karma. I've seen Pharoah play at the East in Brooklyn, at the Keystone in San Francisco and at the Rialto in Atlanta over the past four decades. Journey to the One was long a favorite of mine but the album was lost. The Apple Genius indicated it was available on itunes. I bought it, I love it and I'm sure if you know or want to know anything about the hard jazz of the 60's, about the innovations, tenderness, frustration and beauty of its creators, you will appreciate stepping out on this Journey. The critics can explain these songs; I just listen and travel with these amazing musicians. Buy this and take a ride.

Biography

Born: October 13, 1940 in Little Rock, AR

Genre: Jazz

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Pharoah Sanders possesses one of the most distinctive tenor saxophone sounds in jazz. Harmonically rich and heavy with overtones, Sanders' sound can be as raw and abrasive as it is possible for a saxophonist to produce. Yet, Sanders is highly regarded to the point of reverence by a great many jazz fans. Although he made his name with expressionistic, nearly anarchic free jazz in John Coltrane's late ensembles of the mid-'60s, Sanders' later music is guided by more graceful concerns. In the free-time,...
