"Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost." ( Albert Ayler: Holy Ghost)
Farrell Sanders (Little Rock, October 13, 1940 - Los Angeles, September 24, 2022) began his career playing tenor saxophone in Oakland, California.
He moved to New York City in 1962. He received his nickname "Pharoah" from Sun Ra who gave him a place to stay and gradually worked him into the band.
In 1965, he joined the Coltrane's band adopting the avant-garde jazz of Albert Ayler, Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor.

Alice Coltrane harp, p 1.Journey in Satchidananda (A. Coltrane) 6:35 Comment to the session by Ed Michael:
On the Alice Coltrane album with Pharoah, impulse AS-9203 (Journey in Satchidananda),
recorded at the Coltrane home studio, there were two takes of the first tune:
the first was 10:38, and probably became Something About John Coltrane; the
second was 7:37, and probably became Journey in Satchidananda. (This may seem
confused, but tune titles were changed frequently, and it was very hard to keep
track about which was which.) The second tune was Shiva-Loka; first take was
7:17; second and third were false starts; fourth was 9:08; fifth was 10:09,
and is probably the master take. Third tune was called Leo on the date; first
take was a long false start, second take was 6:20, and may have been used to
make Stopover Bombay. Fourth tune was called The Sun, with one take at 3:55;
then there was an attempt at either more of this or of an alternate tune, for
which there were five takes: first was a false start; second was 2:23; third
false start; fourth 2:45; fifth 3:01. My notes give the date for this as October
27, 1970, but the album credits say November 8, 1970. Your guess is as good
as mine.

Pharoah Sanders ts, ss, shekere, voc, bells, perc Comment by Ed Michael: Live sessions at The Ash Grove, Los Angeles on September
7/8/9, 1973, gave material for impulse AS-9261 (Elevation). I know that Elevation,
Ore-Se-Rere, The Gathering, and Spiritual Blessings came from these dates. However,
the names were changed and given later, so it's hard to tell, without reference
to the tape boxes, which were the takes used, and what was actually called what.
Here's a breakdown on what was recorded:
Sept 7 - first set: Elevation (43:40); Nigerian Tune (14:40); false start;
second set: Elevation (30:00); The Gathering (20:00)
Sept 8 - first set: Elevation (48:00); second set Spiritual Blessings (20:00);
Nigerian HiLife (22:30); Love Is Everywhere/Nigerian HiLife (17:30); The Gathering
(10:00)
Sept 9 - first set: Elevation/Spritual Blessing (37:45); second set: Elevation/Bird
Song (20:30); The Gathering/Blues (28:00); Creator Has a Master Plan/Love Is
Everywhere (34:00); Light of Peace (Healing Song) (12:00)
A few days later, we were in San Francisco at Wally Heider's for sessions
that were used for impulse AS-9261 (Elevation) and AS-9254 (Village of the Pharoahs),
which also used material which Lee Young had recorded, about which I have no
information at all. What I know is:
Sept 13 - Greetings to Saud (Brother McCoy Tyner); 1 take (13:00); untitled
(soprano); 2 false starts, complete take (14:00); another untitled; 2 false
starts; complete take (10:10)

Complete listing for that date thanks to Ed Michael:
Sept 14 - blues (Went Like It Came); first take breaks down at 5:2x; second
(9:55)(master); Myth; 1 complete take (17:25); another blues; 1 false start; complete take (12:04)
Seems that Myth concluded on the disc in 3 parts of the Village of the Pharoahs
and Myth and from the master of Went Like It Came we have 5:11 min

This is the second collaboration of Pharoah and Foday, after Message From
Home. From liner notes by Foday: "My friends in California always wanted me
to play with Pharoah. They encouraged me to combine the kora with the saxophone.
Last year Bill Laswell arranged for us to work together. We jammed in the studio
and then I played on Pharoahís CD, Message From Home. For that album I wrote
the piece, "Kumba". Now he has a chance to play on my project. I like the way
Pharoah listens and quickly responds".

Johnny Turnbull guest musicians:
Pharoah Sanders ts Like "Kendang', 'Dawning' spectacularly showcases the jazy, impassioned saxophone
of Pharoah Sanders, veteran of the 60s New Thing, indeed one of the last active
links with that incendiary era. Persuading Sanders to do so was a coup in itself.
"He was in London and we went to meet him - we thought he wasn't into it, but
it turned out that we were being stalled by one his agents," explains Alex.
'He'd actually been up for it; he'd waited in his hotel for us. So we met up
with him in New York and recorded the two tracks over three hours. He's a legend
on one hand, but as far as he's concerned himself, he's a gigging musician.
He's just stuck with his music and got better at it, it's a really inspiring
thing.'

1. Calling
In the rousing finale of this spirited performance, Pharoah Sanders puts down his
tenor saxophone and sings over a bubbly calypso beat. His ocean-deep baritone voice
is not dissimilar to that of the great Joe Williams, but he uses it sparingly,
delivering just a few choruses before starting to dance in a manner that recalls
Nelson Mandela's trademark two-step. He then eases his 67-year-old frame into a
earty slow-mo twist. This is possibly not what was expected of an artist commonly
perceived as an avant-garde firestarter in the mould of Albert Ayler, and a committed
disciple of the final phase of John Coltrane's career in the mid-60s.
To conclude the Iowa City Jazz Festival on July 7, 2013.

Some applause at the end of the last tracks has been cut on the official release
(therefore the differences in timings). On "Spirits" there is no "Molimo part
one" and the intro to "Morning in Soweto "comparing to the original tape. Nr
12 from the concert is nr 9 on the "Spirits" release. "Sunrise" on the official
release begins from fade a little bit later than on the concert tape. And, of
course - the official release is a soundboard realease of best quality - the
tape is an audience tape.

Pharoah Sanders discography 2015
Concert - PHAROAH SANDERS at Dizzy's club Coca-Cola
Friday - Sunday, January 29 - February 1 2015 
John Coltrane described Pharoah Sanders as "a man of large spiritual reservoir, always trying to reach out to truth."
A legendary tenor saxophonist, Sanders is a veteran of Coltrane's unforgettable free-jazz groups of the mid-1960s.
In the decades after his first recordings with Coltrane, Sanders developed the capability of playing convincingly
in a variety of contexts, from free to mainstream, and as a mature artist he has discovered a hard-edged lyricism that has served him well.

«
The story here is really about Mr. Sanders and his broad appeal. His involvement toward the end of Coltrane's band meant an involvement in
jazz as free expression and folk music, rather than virtuosity and formalism. There are a lot of people out there who wish that more of jazz
were like that. He's a musician who represents more than the notes he plays. He stands for the late '60s, but also for a generous and open way of
expressing and sharing music. You hear it in his broad sound and his raspy long-tones and chaotic spirals of improvising between chords:
seriousness, awareness.
From the feeling in the room, you'd think that this gig was very special or that Mr. Sanders rarely plays in New York.
Neither was the case. He played in January at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola and at the Blue Note last September.
And he wasn't with his regular first-call New York band.
Aside from William Henderson, his usual pianist, he had the bassist Juini Booth and the drummer Greg Bandy, veteran New York musicians who have
worked with Mr. Sanders off and on over the decades. (Mr. Booth played with him on Larry Young's "Lawrence of Newark" (1973). Mr. Bandy
played regularly with Mr. Sanders in the late '70s and '80s.)
So it was a casual gig with expected repertory - a slowly simmering, gospel-like opening into some Coltrane (a bit of "Welcome") some
standards (including "Body and Soul", with the singer Tony Hewitt as a guest), and some vamp-based Sanders originals, including the singalong
"Save Our Children" with Mr. Sanders leading the chorus and enacting a slow, arm-swinging dance. The band carried out the mood of the
music in the right way but by general standards kept the proceedings low-key. It wasn't out to startle. »
