Pharoah Sanders – Karma (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in February 1969, just a year and a half after John Coltrane's death, Karma arrived as Sanders stepped fully into his own voice, carrying the cosmic torch forward with bassist Ron Carter and vocalist Leon Thomas, whose yodeling on "The Creator Has a Master Plan" became one of the most recognizable sounds in the entire free jazz canon. That 32-minute centerpiece remains a genuine communal experience, the kind of track that rewards headphone listening and festival crowds equally.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in deluxe gatefold jacket. Pharoah Sanders' third Impulse! Album, 1969's Karma, is a milestone of the Spiritual Jazz movement and a natural progression in the sonic exploration that Sanders, along with John and Alice Coltrane, had spearheaded over the previous five years. "The Creator Has a Master Plan" is as close as Spiritual Jazz comes to having it's own anthem. Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes.
