Pharoah Sanders reached for joy rather than fury on Wisdom Through Music, a radiant 1973 spiritual jazz album, back on vinyl as a UK import.
By the early 1970s Sanders had already pushed the tenor saxophone to its outer limits alongside John Coltrane and on his own celebrated Impulse! records. Here, with producer Lee Young, he channels that energy into something communal and celebratory, surrounded by a circle of percussionists and players who sound as if they are gathered in one room, playing for each other.
The band is stacked with talent: Cecil McBee on bass, Norman Connors on drums, Joe Bonner on piano, James Branch on flute, plus Badal Roy, James Mtume and Lawrence Killian on percussion. Together they create a shimmering, rhythmic bed for Sanders to soar over.
High Life opens with a festive, chanting groove inspired by West African dance music, while Love Is Everywhere returns to one of his favourite melodies with infectious warmth. Selflessness builds into an ecstatic, overflowing finale, and The Golden Lamp glows with meditative calm.
Spiritual jazz devotees prize this record as one of Sanders' most uplifting statements. It makes a perfect entry point for listeners discovering him, and a welcome addition for longtime admirers.
