Recorded live at the Detroit Institute of Arts on July 20, 2025, A Tribute to Pharoah Sanders captures Detroit reed master Wendell Harrison and his ensemble TRIBE in a transcendent performance honoring Harrison’s longtime friend and fellow jazz icon. The concert—part of Detroit’s Concert of Colors festival and later broadcast on PBS—finds Harrison channeling Sanders’ spirit through deep tenor cries, hypnotic grooves, and Afro-spiritual improvisation.
Joined by an exceptional group of musicians including Sky Covington, Pamela Wise, Michael Abbo, Sam Melkonian, Kevin Dalton Jones, Allen Denard, Edward Gooche, Stephen Grady, Roberto Warren, and special guests, Harrison leads an inspired exploration of sound and soul.
