Impulse! AS-9206 Pharoah Sanders-tenor and soprano saxophones,  alto flute, percussion, koto, ballophone; Michael White-violin; Lonnie Liston Smith-Fender Rhodes, piano, ballophone, hand percussion; Cecil McBee-bass; Clifford Jarvis or Roy Haynes-drums; Produced by Ed Mic
Pharoah Sanders followed the path John Coltrane blazed in his late period, when Pharoah was playing in his band: spiritual and transcendent--with loose compositions as vehicles for free improvisation--drawing from musical traditions (and instruments) from around the world for inspiration. There is some studio experimentation with multi-tracks (free improv with overdubs), a beautiful bass solo by Cecil McBee (overdubs here, also) and joyful seriousness.  Engineers and studios are credited on both coasts (one each: NYC and LA).  The recording quality is superb, typical of Impulse 

The LP condition is VG+, it played through smoothly with very little static and surface noise.  The ink is worn around the spindle hole, but the hole itself is solid.  The cover is slightly worn, with a 1" edge split on the top edge near the opening, shelf wear on the bottom edge and ring wear.  The title on the spine is well-aligned and easily readable.  The inner sleeve (with Impulse catalog items from that time) is included.
