Pharoah Sanders – Thembi (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Pharoah Sanders spent the late '60s pushing the outer limits of spiritual jazz alongside John Coltrane, and by 1971 he had fully stepped into his own voice. Thembi captures him at a restless creative peak, drawing on African rhythms, Eastern tonality, and electric textures in ways that put him in conversation with what Miles Davis and others were exploring at the same moment, though Sanders always kept one foot rooted in the sacred.
Vinyl LP pressing. Released in 1971 on Impulse and recorded with two different ensembles, Thembi? marked a departure from the slowly developing, side-long, mantra-like grooves Sanders had been pursuing for much of his solo career. Instead, it offers an intriguingly wide range of relatively concise ideas resulting in something of an anomaly in Sanders' prime period. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
