	Pharoah Sanders - Biography - AOL Music
		In the free-time, ultra-dense cauldron that was Coltrane's last artistic stand, Sanders relied heavily on the non-specific pitches and timbral distortions pioneered by Albert Ayler and further developed by Coltrane himself.
		Pharoah Sanders (a corruption of his given name, Ferrell Sanders) was born into a musical family.
		Sanders' first instrument was the clarinet, but he switched to tenor sax as a high school student, under the influence of his band director, Jimmy Cannon.

	Pharoah Sanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pharoah Sanders (born October 13, 1940) is an American jazz saxophonist.
		Sanders would also go on to produce much free jazz, being influenced by his free jazz collaborations with Coltrane, particularly Coltrane's most notable free jazz work, Ascension (recorded in June 1965), as well as their dual-tenor recording Meditations (recorded in November 1965).
		Sanders is known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound."

	Pharoah Sanders Biography: Spirit Exuberant

	Pharoah Sanders Solo at the San Francisco Jazz Festival \| Review by Harry S. Pariser
		Born Ferrell Sanders, Pharoah was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and moved to Oakland after high school.
		These days, Pharoah is 65 and his flat-top styled hair and trim goatee have turned to grey, but he still commands an immense stage presence.
		Pharoah concludes with some final bursts on his tenor before silently fingering his sax keys open and shut, an effect which leaves a ghostly echo reverberating through the basilica.

	Elevation - Pharoah Sanders - Song Listings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The live date is fairly cohesive, with beautiful modal piano work from Joe Bonner, Pharoah playing tenor and soprano as well as a myriad of percussion instruments and vocalizing in places, and a percussion and rhythm section that included Michael Carvin on drums, bassist Calvin Hill, and hand drummers John Blue and Lawrence Killian.
		Sanders' long, loping, suspended lines create a kind of melodic head that is underscored by Bonner's hypnotically repetitive piano work, playing the same chord progression over and over again as he begins his solos (one on each horn).
		This may not rate as highly as some of Sanders' other recordings for the label like Thembi or Karma, but there is plenty here for fans, and it is well worth the investigation and the purchase.

	Pharoah Sanders Has a Master Plan
		Saxophonist Pharoah Sanders is one such player, and whether he's coaxing warm sugar or spewing streams of harmonically gnarled fireworks from his horn, you can be assured that it's 100 percent from the heart.
		Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that both his parents were music teachers, Sanders hesitated before applying himself to music, fancying himself a painter until finally discovering his voice on the clarinet and the tenor saxophone.
		At first, life in the Big Apple was sour for Sanders, and the young musician struggled, hawking his instrument and spending sleepless nights in the subway for warmth.

	SFJAZZ Spring 2006 - Pharoah Sanders
		Sanders, who had met Coltrane in San Francisco, was given a boost by the master in New York when Sanders was homeless and riding the subways at night to stay warm.
		Sanders recalls Trane inviting him onstage in 1964: “I was confused a good deal of the time when I first started playing with John.
		Sanders’ tenure with Coltrane lasted from 1965 until the saxophonist’s death in 1967 and was marked by the tonal aberrations and spiritual intensity of collective improvisation.

		It was a risk--although understandable--to bring Pharoah Sanders, the man possessing the most distinct, glorious, and immediately recognizable tone in the history of the tenor sax, on board.
		Although Sanders plays on only three numbers, he's featured on the three longest ones and therefore is on board for about half the time.

		This was the framework into which Sanders entered the studio for the third time this year, together with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, who were so crucial to the sound of the last two records, Sanders laid down the two performances that would make up "Jewels of Thought".
		Sanders blows beautifully, stating theme and soloing around it, Thomas supports in yodel, and the whole thing is just downright fantastic.
		Pharoah Sanders is a wonderfully gifted saxophonist and a man doubly gifted with one of the most powerful voices of the twentieth century in any genre of music.

	Music & Nightlife in Santa Cruz, CA \| Music Preview \| Pharoah Sanders
		Sanders has never been one for restrictions, be they of genre or geography.
		Creativity and challenge came hand in hand as Sanders found himself living in the city's Lower East Side and playing with the likes of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman, while also going through periods of extreme poverty in which he had to pawn his horn and sleep on the subway.
		He and Sanders went off on a quest to find the spiritual dimension that was so integral to African music, but largely lost in its Western counterpart.

	The History of Jazz Music. Pharoah Sanders: biography, discography, review, links
		Arkansas-born tenor saxophonist Farrell "Pharoah" Sanders (1940), who had cut his teeth in Oakland (California), moved to New York in 1962 and joined the groups of Sun Ra (where he got his nickname) and John Coltrane.
		A much better summary of Sanders' philosophy was represented by the one 37-minute improvisation of Black Unity (november 1971), with Marvin Peterson on trumpet, Carlos Alfredo Garnett on tenor and Joe Bonner on piano, Cecil McBee and Stanley Clarke on bass, and "only" three percussionists (notably Norman Connors).
		But clearly Sanders was getting softer and softer, bordering on atmospheric background music with the 20-minute Harvest Time on Pharoah (september 1976), a style that became his standard of reference for the rest of his career.

		Pharoah Sanders' 1969 album, "Karma", is generally (and rightfully) acknowledged as one of the masterpieces in the free jazz movement of the '60s.
		Composed by Sanders and vocalist Leon Thomas, it receives on this album a sprawling treatement (extending nearly 33 minutes) that is something to be heard.
		And the tracks religious feeling is cemented by the fact that it feels deeply engaging, and a sound that through Pharoah's dynamics and leadership pushes irrepressibly forward, with Sanders shifting between spiritual peace and violent outbursts in his tenor solos.

	PHAROAH SANDERS DISCOGRAPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I used to think Pharoah and Sun Ra lived in parallel universes (from each other, not the rest of us!) but it turns out that when Pharoah was struggling to break into the ranks of recognized jazz artists he was living on NYC's lower east side and gigging with Sun Ra.
		Capsule Info: There is a sense of happiness and celebration in Pharoah's Theresa period: the albums are eclectic, marriages of standards and vocals, of hauntingly meditative pieces, and joyful explorations of rhythm.
		Pharoah Sanders can also be heard as a featured or supporting artist on many other albums.

		AMG: Recorded with two different ensembles, Thembi was a departure from the slowly developing, side-long, mantra-like grooves Pharoah Sanders had been pursuing for most of his solo career.

		Pharoah Sanders Quartet: Pharoah Sanders (tenor saxophone); William Henderson (piano); Charles Fambrough (bass); Sherman Ferguson (drums).
		Sanders eschews his trademark screams and concentrates on the deep, dark sound that made Coltrane's playing so universal....This does not merely revisit the past; it is revitalization, renewal and prayer."
		The eccentricity comes from Sanders' urge to fuse everything from his blues roots with the variety of music he has found most attractive over the years.

	PHAROAH SANDERS / WISDOM THROUGH MUSIC
		Although he made a name for himself as a fiercely expressionistic, almost anarchic tenor saxophonist in John Coltrane's later bands, the music on this album is guided by gentler passions.
		Pharoah sings out soulfully as members of the band join their voices together in an all male gospel chorus, creating an African-flavored call and response dynamic that lends weight to the album's two message-songs, "Love Is Everywhere" and "Selflessness." Throughout the record, chanting voices float over the music, calling to the spirits.
		Pharoah's tenor belts out with barely contained enthusiasm, giving way to a densely percussive drum break in the middle of the song.

		Saxophonist Pharoah Sanders plays with an improvisational style characterized by multiphonic shrieks mixed with, later on in his career, a more melodic, lyrical tone akin to singing.
		As with so many jazz musicians, Sanders' move to New York in 1962 was significant, as it placed him in the setting that would eventually launch his career.
		The 1970s were a time of rehash and decline for Sanders, as he returned to earlier successes only to try his hand at the then-popular disco craze.

		PHAROAH SANDERS is a man of few words; almost all of what John Coltrane's spiritual heir has to say of real significance can be found on the rack of records he's made over the past 30-odd years.
		Born in Little Rock, Ark., Sanders migrated to New York in the early 1960s, drawn to the city by the burgeoning cadre of new-bop-and-out cats like Sonny Rollins, Harold Land and Coltrane.
		In a rare Bay Area appearance, Sanders will be featured as a guest performer as part of the Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival Spring Benefit concert.

	Pharoah Sanders: Live - Jazzmatazz Reviews
		What distinguishes this music, as with all of Sanders’ efforts, is its energy.
		Sanders can’t touch a horn without a firestorm being generated, and his screaming play here, redolent of his time with John Coltrane and a history that dates back to the bar-walking tradition of jazz honkers, is electrifying.
		Overall, however this compendium of concert performances is a powerful statement of what jazz can strive to be and of Sanders’ greatness and significance.

		Both players were influencing each other, with Pharoah's intense screaming and multiphonic squawks opening up the range of the horn, and Coltrane's supremely inventive phrasing and melodic flair reaching new heights in improvisation.
		Through the conception of these recordings, and perhaps to some extent through his work with Alice Coltrane in the early 70s, Pharoah acquired a breadth of sound that was as majestic, melodic, and spiritual as it was free, hellbent, and gut©wrenchingly emotional.
		Years later Pharoah Sanders has experienced a resurgence of sorts in a career that was somewhat overshadowed in the late 70s and 80s by other more "inside" and "commercial" movements in American music and even in what is called American "jazz".

	A Fireside Chat With Pharoah Sanders
		For a period, Sanders was on Verve and recorded two sessions produced by the often-maligned Bill Laswell, Message from Home and Save Our Children.
		That was a handful of years ago and apart from a featured guest role here and a Catalina's concert there (although Sanders did record Spirits for Adam Rudolph's label), Sanders remained silent, out of the public eye, and more importantly, out of the public ear.
		Void of a recording contract and having just played a mediocre week at Catalina's, Sanders spoke about his absence and the pitfalls of falling in the cracks of the preverbal American pop culture mantra, as always, brought to you without commercial interruptions, unedited and in his own words.

		Sanders returned to Little Rock in the mid-80's and performed at the Delta Blue Note, at UALR with the Little Rock Jazz Machine.
		In the 1980s both his repertoire and his playing style have covered a wide range, embracing not only the energetic free jazz and calm modal jazz of his earlier periods, but also swing, rhythm-and-blues, and bop.
