Pharoah Sanders
Pharoah Sanders is an American jazz saxophonist. As a member of John Coltrane's groups in the mid-1960s, Sanders is known for his saxophone saturation, harmonization and polyphonic techniques, as well as the use of "acoustic panels". He has released over 30 albums as the leader and has collaborated extensively with Leon Thomas, Alice Coltrane and Rinai Maurice, among others. Saxophonist Ornette Coleman described him as "perhaps the best soprano in the world". Sanders' music is called "spiritual jazz" because it is inspired by religious concepts such as Karma and Tawheed, and its meditative aesthetic. This style is seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums like A Love Supreme. Therefore, Sanders is considered to be a disciple of Coltrane or as Albert Ayler said, "Trane is the Father, Pharoah is the Son, I am the Holy Spirit".
