Product Review

A graduate of the mid-1960s ensembles of John Coltrane, saxophonist Pharoah Sanders has been described as 'probably the best tenor player in the world' by Ornette Coleman and was a major figure in the development of free jazz. On the three records being reissued by Anthology Recordings, Tauhid, Jewels of Thought, and Deaf Dumb Blind (Summun Bukmun Umyun), we find the master striking out on his own following the death of Coltrane in 1967 and defining his indelible place in the jazz pantheon.
