Pharoah Sanders at Arroyo Seco

Went to a rock festival this past weekend and the first act I saw was Pharoah Sanders! He was at the by far smallest of the 3 stages but the generally  young audience really got into it.  I was worried because he hobbled across the stage and I thought he might have trouble hearing since he kept asking them to turn up his monitor.  But once he began playing he was very strong. At one point while someone else was soloing he shuffled to the back of the stage and I presumed he was going to sit down but instead he picked up a couple of very large tambourines with which he joined in.  Crowd loved him though not as much as they loved Kamasai Washington whom I saw next at a large stage.  I liked him but Pharoah was a hard act to follow.

The other jazz I heard was the music used to introduce Jack White:  Artie Shaw's theme "Nightmare".
