About Pharoah Sanders

Pharoah Sanders, a titan of American jazz, was renowned for his innovative and spiritually resonant saxophone playing. Born in 1940, Sanders' career spanned over six decades, during which he became a pivotal figure in the development of free jazz and spiritual jazz. His distinctive sound, characterized by overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques, along with his use of "sheets of sound," set him apart in the jazz world. Sanders' tenure with John Coltrane in the mid-1960s further cemented his legacy, and his subsequent solo work, including collaborations with vocalist Leon Thomas and pianist Alice Coltrane, showcased his unique artistic vision. Fellow saxophonist Ornette Coleman once hailed him as "probably the best tenor player in the world," a testament to Sanders' enduring impact on jazz music. Sanders' music, marked by its emotional depth and spiritual richness, continues to inspire and influence musicians and fans alike.
