I suppose this is an archival release, technically, rather than a reissue.  But close enough.  ;)

If anyone wants to preview it, the show is available on Sugarmegs:

Pharoah - 6/6/80 - mp3

Lousy bass sound on this one... although typical of that era. Direct bass pickup I assume?

Further listening to that web link and I hear that this was recorded when Pharoah was still doing that random screeching stuff, which I find weird. In my experience, this was better live than it is on this recording. It's like he's playing a regular solo and then just loses his shit for second. :)

This is the same label that's been putting out those Onkel Pös Carnegie Hall recordings.

His tenor sounds beautiful when it's isolated to a degree. It's hard to deny the facility and power Pharoah had. But despite the fact that I enjoy the other three players in general, this music doesn't do anything for me. The linked recording from '86 (not '80) is one I will probably not go back to.
