Pharoah Sanders “Pharoah” 2 cd box set.

I waited a long time for this to be released and shipped to me. . . and when I finally got it the first disc would not load and play in any of my machines.

I finally got a replacement. Worth waiting for.

 

I love Pharoah Sanders since I was in my early teens. I think the first Sanders I had heard was on a Coltrane album from Village Vanguard, and soon I had my first album "Live at the East" which is one of my oldest LPs. I heard Sanders live on many occasions. 

Is this one an ESP record ?

I heard him on so many occasions, each time with Dexter when they did Europe and one thing I want to tell but didn´t tell him: With all due respect for George Cables and I never will say else than Cables is one of the top pianists in his field, it is Kirk Lightsey whose piano solos I liked most , especially on ballads when Dexter played a ballad. Kirk played those ballads really pretty. 
Last week I met him and told him about it, and when I started to see him as working as an own unit. 
It seems that in the later years, from 1983 on Dexter missed a few gigs or sets and that´s when they recorded as a trio.

Not "live" .... nevertheless really good ....

This must have been before I met Art Farmer. He stayed in Vienna when he didn´t tour other continents and we could hear him so many times with the great Fritz Pauer, who was my real mentor. 
I don´t really collect records but one I have and I have it signed by Art with a dedication for me: "To Duke with Love", with the dream rhythm section of Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins.

This is a Steeplechase cover that I like. They are by no means all bad.

I played this one (arrived in the mail today) twice–it was such an energetic and bold and clear session and recording. I wanted to hear details again.

Dannie Richmond Quintet “Dionysius” Red Records cd 2023

Then on to one pulled from the shelves, Kurt Rosenwinkle, “The Enemies of Energy” Verve cd. I like the music. . . his guitar tone. . . not as much.
