    Wonderful ! I have loved Pharoah Sanders since I was still amost a kid. One of my first jazz LPs was Tranes "At Village Vanguard Again" (with Pharoah, Alice, Garrison, Rashied Ali) and then I got my first Sanders LP (Live at the East). I like all those great albums he made, those from the 60´s and 70´s as well as the later straight ahead dates with a typical ts.p.,b,dr - quartet...... everything ! 

    Wow! To have "Live at the East" as your first Pharoah album was probably beautifully intense. My first, as a youngster, was "Tauhid", but "...East" got a LOT of play at home in those days.

    Not sure of the correctness of this...

    For Alto is a jazz double-LP by composer/multi-reedist Anthony Braxton, recorded in 1969 and released on Delmark Records in 1971.[1][2] Braxton performs the pieces on this album entirely on alto saxophone, with no additional musicians, instrumentation or overdubbing. Although other jazz musicians, such as Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, and Eric Dolphy, had recorded unaccompanied saxophone solos,[3] For Alto  was the first jazz album composed solely of solo saxophone music.[4]

    But it references this book as having said that:

    I understand that the subject of the book is a weigthy one. 'Steinbeck' keeps on repeating the same message over and over again after a while. That's what i meant with not enough substance. I did like East of eden !

    As much as I agree with the choices above,
    my heart still loves "For Alto." It made such a
    profound impression on my 12 year old ears,
    that I started playing alto within weeks of
    buying that LP. I also included a track from
    it on my first disc jockey audition tape
    for my first radio show when I was 15.
    It has definitely stayed with me ever since.
