Before he died in September 2022 at 81, tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders was top of mind thanks to his final album, Promises, made with Sam Shepherd (aka Floating Points). Luaka Bop then decided to reissue the coveted 1977 album Pharoah. The new LP is packaged with a second vinyl disc of two previously unreleased live versions of the signature piece “Harvest Time,” a selection of artifact reproductions, and a 24-page booklet. The concert performances, in which Sanders blows ecstatically in a quartet with bassist Hayes Burnett, drummer Clifford Jarvis, and keyboardist Khalid Moss, sound remarkably good—crisper, even, than the excellently remastered studio tracks. But the latter beguile with their idiosyncratic instrumentation and Sanders’ cosmic/spiritual experimentation. On “Harvest Time,” electric guitarist Tisziji Muñoz sets a two-chord vamp against which Sanders and bassist Steve Neil improvise, with Sanders’ wife, Bedria, wafting in on harmonium, and Muñoz spooling out psychedelic threads. Drummer Greg Bandy, organist Clifton “Jiggs” Chase, and percussionist Lawrence Killian join for “Love Will Find a Way” and “Memories of Edith Johnson.” Gospel-rooted vocalizing, plaintive sax, and eruptive guitar solos shift the vibe from atmospheric to testimonial.
