About
Pharoah Sanders’ fifth outing for Impulse! (and sixth LP overall) is a mélange of some of his music’s most alluring qualitie. Gutsy free-jazz improvisation, memorable melodie, soulful open-ended vamp, widely varied instrumentation: Sanders knits all of this into one harmonious statement. <i>Thembi</i> marks pianist Lonnie Liston Smith’s last appearance with Sanders as well as his first playing Fender Rhodes electric piano, on which he lights up his original piece “Astral Traveling.” In this electric setting, Sanders’ soprano sax isn’t terribly far off from the sound of Wayne Shorter with Weather Report (their eponymous debut came out the same month, May of 1971). .
