Barcode: 4049774771231
Release Date: 24 Mar 2023
Genre: Jazz

Previously unreleased live recording from spiritual jazz saxophone titan Pharoah Sanders and his all-star quartet featuring pianist John Hicks, bassist Curtis Lundy and drumming great Idris Muhammad, who are in scintillating form across five epic tracks, including the classic "You Gotta Have Freedom" and "The Creator Has a Masterplan"

This release in a series of live recordings of concerts from the "Fabrik" in Hamburg, one of those hidden treasures from the archive of the NDR, was intended to bring back the memory of changes and revolutions in the world of jazz of more than four decades ago. It has now turned into an obituary - at the end of September 2022 the tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders passed away at the age of 81.

Pharoah Sanders was wandering along spiritual paths at the core of modern jazz, while always keeping in touch with "Mother Africa". It is a special experience to accompany this quartet on their journey once more.
