You guessed it, Izipho Zam (My Gifts) finds Pharoah Sanders pushing jazz into ecstatic spiritual territory. Released in 1973 this ode to John Coltrane saw Sanders invite a 13-piece ensemble (including Sonny Sharrock and Lonnie Liston Smith), for a drawn out blend of meditative vocal chants and West African percussion. Case and point, the 28-minute title track. - Flying Out
Pharoah Sanders' Izipho Zam (My Gifts) is a groundbreaking jazz masterpiece. Recorded in 1969, two years after John Coltrane's passing, and released in 1973 on Strata-East, the album features a 13-member ensemble, including Sonny Sharrock, Lonnie Liston Smith, Cecil McBee, and Leon Thomas. Blending Eastern influences with expansive jazz, Sanders’ genius is highlighted with Prince of Peace, showcasing Thomas' unique vocals, and the 28-minute title track, offering an exploration of dissonance and harmony with West African percussion and meditative chants.
