Pharoah Sanders - Jewels Of Thought

Even by his standards, Pharoah Sanders' Jewels of Thought is a profound exploration of spiritual jazz that showcases the saxophonist's genius. Released in 1969, the album features two extended tracks, 'Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah' and 'Sun in Aquarius,' each a journey through mystical soundscapes.

Sanders' saxophone work is both fiery and meditative, weaving through dense, textured layers of percussion, chants, and harp. The album's hypnotic rhythms and transcendent melodies create an immersive listening experience that is both challenging and deeply rewarding. As such this record stands as a testament to Sanders' innovative spirit and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz into new, spiritual realms.
