Don't Know

Read somewhere that according to legendary Stooges axeman Ron Asheton, the riff of Little Doll was lifted from Upper Egypt & Lower Egypt by far out free jazz wizard Pharoah Sanders. Can you spot it?

Tune In

Just released: a very welcome registration of a très jolie '75 Pharoah gig in the city of light. The master plays tenor sax here, and he plays it surprisingly cool, hardly ever going really far out. His band's a solid one: take a bow Danny Mixon (keys), Calvin Hill (double bass), and Greg Bandy (drums). Really wish I'd been in the audience for this one.

All Aboard

We're going on a trip, jazz cats. Its distict Indian flavour is delightful, and what's more, this musical journey features the mighty Pharoah Sanders on sax. Satchidananda, in case you were wondering, was a famous swami Trane's widow was following at the time on her road to enlightenment.
