Amazon.co.uk Review
At the time when Pharoah Sanders added his tenor sax to John Coltrane in the mid-60s it would have been deemed fairly unlikely that his music would ever be termed as dance music: but 15 years later coupling his raw sax to a funky 70s beat it became just that. The track "You've Got To Have Freedom" became an anthem with it's unusual mix of jazz blow-out, disco-tinged piano and the most 70s-sounding backing singers you can imagine. You can all but hear the white flares flapping as they sing the chorus (one of them in fact was a certain Mr. Bobby McFerrin). This is true also of "Think About The One", which has Sanders sharing the limelight with lead singer Claudette Allen on a track sounding like a jazz number from the musical "Hair". Elsewhere there are more straight-ahead jazz numbers, with an ever changing back up group, but which generally has John Hicks playing solid piano behind a Pharoah Sanders who may be experimenting with the then new sounds, but remained a jazz man. --Phil Brett
Customer Reviews
Under-rated Jazz master
If you are familiar with the man and his work then you will know that he can 'play' with the very, very best. This album marked his transition into a more 'fusion' style of jazz that was very 80's. Much of this style of music was very ordinary and very forgettable.
Pharoah delivers a varied album here that will have at least a couple of tracks that will please any of his fans. It is rather more conventional than many of his recordings but he does show some of his range and diversity of playing that his fans love and new-listeners will be amazed by.
Well worth a listen and a very good example of the genre.
Number 1 ?
It would be so difficult to choose my favorite Jazz track of all time,but Pharoah Sanders-Youve got to have freedom, has got to be a contender.An absolute monster tune on the British Jazz Dance scene.Totaly recommended.
