PHAROAH SANDERS

KARMA
Description:
Pharoah Sanders' third album as a leader is the one that defines him as a musician to the present day. After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date. There are only two tracks on Karma, the 32 plus minute "The Creator Has a Master Plan" and the five and a half minute "Colours." The band is one of Sanders' finest, and features vocalist Leon Thomas, drummer Billy Hart, Julius Watkins, James Spaulding, a pre funk Lonnie Liston Smith, Richard Davis, Reggie Workman on bass, and Nathaniel Bettis on percussion. Keeping his range limited for the first eight minutes anyway, Sanders explores all the colors around the key figures, gradually building the dynamics as the band comps the two chord theme behind with varying degrees of timbral invention.
