Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam LP

A uniquely collaborative session from 1969 that has Sanders working with Sonny Fortune, Sonny Sharrock, Lonnie Liston Smith, Leon Thomas and Cecil McBee with a freely exploratory sort of energy, a bit like some of Archie Shepp's most righteous sides from the same time. Sanders' tenor still stands out on most numbers, and there's a nicely relaxed, deeply spiritual, and personal feel to the whole album
