Starting out in his early 20s with John Coltrane and other adventurous greats, saxophonist Pharoah Sanders was steeped in avant-garde, spiritual jazz. As a result, Sanders' ‘60s and ‘70s recordings were an explosive force of forward-thinking and reedy sensuality. Tracks like “Wisdom Through Music” and “Colors” show off his cosmic passion and worldly collaborations through a collision of focused playing and a cacophony of exotic sounds.
