Hoppla, das nenn ich eine Überraschung!
The Complete Pharoah Sanders Theresa Recordings Limited Edition Box Set (#282 – 7 CDs)
$119.00 bis 26. Juni, danach $139.00
Sanders’s discography from the 1960s and ‘70s is well-represented in the canon, but his recordings from the 1980s on Theresa Records, a small but ambitious San Francisco Bay Area label, remain overlooked, misunderstood and underrated.
The Complete Theresa Recordings of Pharoah Sanders captures the saxophonist in transition, brokering a compelling truce with the jazz tradition without mortgaging his avant-garde bona fides. Sanders embraces the blues imperative, melodic interpretations of the Great American Songbook and jazz standards.
His group features fiercely swinging, post-bop rhythm sections. Among the A-listers on board are pianist John Hicks, bassists Ray Drummond and Walter Booker and drummers Idris Muhammad and Billy Higgins. Top-tier guests making cameos include vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, drummer Elvin Jones and vocalist Leon Thomas.
Liner Notes von Mark Stryker und eins der letzten noch von Michael Cuscuna gestarteten Projekte. Und in den Anmerkungen zur Diskographie auch noch das hier:
There is no recording date listed in the credits for Pharoah’s 5th album on Theresa “Shukuru”, however, there is a generic 1981 recording date listed in the CD release of the album by Evidence in 1992.
According to liner note writer Mark Stryker, this purported 1981 recording date is not credible. The Kurzweil 250 synthesizer, the first of its kind, which was featured throughout this recording was not introduced into the market until 1984 so it could not have been used for a recording in 1981. “Shukuru” was originally released by Theresa in 1985, so the recording date was more likely in late 1984 or early 1985.
Ob ich das brauche, weiss ich so auf den ersten Blick nicht, aber verlockend ist es schon, die verstreuten Einzel-CDs loszuwerden ..
