clifford_thornton Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 whos this john kelemmer guy on cadet and why does he think hes the white Phaorah Sanders? You are killing me. I mean, really, stop... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Haven't heard Karma in years. Wasn't so into it then, but it was a) not the first Pharoah I'd bought and b) not "in context" of the music's release. Not that that matters to me, but it seems to often around here. If I saw a clean vinyl copy of it, though, I'd probably pick it up again... Quote

If you didn't live it, it requires as much effort to understand as does another country (and its music). MG Quote
Shrdlu Posted June 4, 2007 Report Posted June 4, 2007 Pharoah's "Message From Home" album is fantastic, and it always reminds me of the Impulse days - the vibe and the studio sound. You should check that one out. There are some fabulous grooves and some very catchy melodies. It makes you want to join in. My kids like it a lot, and we used to grab some home-made percussion and play along with some of it. There is a lot of Trane there, too. Pharoah has sounded more like Trane in recent years than he did when he played with him, and we now get to hear the lyrical side of him as well as the fiery screeches. Quote

Hardbopjazz Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 I just saw Pharoah and his quartet tonight. What a great musician. I thought to resurrect this thread from several years back. At 74 he is playing great. Quote

Guy Berger Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Planning to see him on Sunday and very excited about it. Quote
Gheorghe Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 I love everything Pharaoh did and does and heard him live on several occasions. the last time was 2 years ago. He still played great but looked frail and I wondered if he will be active for more years. So I´m very glad to hear he´s still playing. The fotos look wonderful. Hope he will do Europe again....

Guy Berger Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 That was one of the best jazz concerts I have ever seen. And I feel kind of silly about avoiding Dizzy's - it's a very nice space. Quote
xybert Posted November 6, 2017 Report Posted November 6, 2017 Picked up this set recently: Info here: http://www.espdisk.com/4069.html It's a mix of released and unreleased material but it's all new to me. Very enjoyable. Quote
mandrill Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 Pharoah on Timeless. Love this set, especially the last album. Quote

Gheorghe Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 I don´t know the 3 CD Box and right in this moment I´m not sure if I heard Moonchild, but I remember "Wellcome to love" is one of the later albums I purchased from Pharoah. Here he is a great ballad player. Most of us might have heard Pharoah for the first time when he started to play more conventional material, like classic quartet settings. Pharoah and Shepp did that about in the same time. But I also love that more religios stuff, things like "Healing Song" , I´m not a religios person, we didn´t grow up with those things, but to me Pharoah is like a church event and I love it. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 I have a double CD of Pharoah's ballad playing, "Crescent With Love", that I play often. I'll have to try and find a copy of "Welcome To Love". Quote

Pim Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 Dont know about the Timeless cds but those look very nice. Thanks for the dip. talking late Pharoah, I always enjoy very much: Marvelous ballad playing. Lots of Coltrane material and yes the influence is there but he still sounds unique. And the music is just beautiful. Little less interesting in my opinion but the version of Ole is an absolute killer. One o the best I have heard. Quote

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 Pharoah is killin it right now.....his duo shows this year were some of THE best jazz shows ive seen in the 2010s Quote
Rabshakeh Posted December 26, 2021 Report Posted December 26, 2021 I'm currently listening to Love In Us All. For John has a trumpet player who isn't credited from what I can see. Does anyone know who it was? Quote
