7 Songs to Remember Pharoah Sanders (1940 - 2022)

Pharoah Sanders (not “Pharaoh”) was a disciple of John Coltrane and a pioneer in his own right, putting spiritual jazz on the map with unique, genre-blending textures. You can’t truly encapsulate an artist like Pharoah Sanders in a few songs, but on this episode, we pay our respects to the legend with seven songs that we think exemplify some of the broad strokes in artist’s sonic palette.

We’d love it if you’d rate and review CrossFade on iTunes, ‘cause it means more people can find the show and love it, too!
