Pharoah Sanders - Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong (1987) [Jazz][mp3

Pharoah Sanders - Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong Year: 1987 Label: Zillion (1989) Total time: 43:44 Quality: 320 kbps Although Pharoah Sanders was originally considered a firebrand, thanks to his wild early free jazz work in the '60s, his later records are actually more in the tradition of players like his one-time leader John Coltrane and, especially, Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The title track from this 1987 session could have been on any of Kirk's Atlantic albums, a mixture of gospel sway and free jazz honk that builds into a hypnotic swoon under Leon Thomas' rich baritone vocals. (Thomas also appears on his own composition, the blues "If It Wasn't for a Woman," and the closing "Next Time You See Me." ) On the extended, relaxed take of Coltrane's "Equinox," Sanders doesn't try to copy his former boss' phrasing, but there's certainly a Coltrane-like elegance to Sanders' lyrical solo. In fact, Sanders' playing on the standard "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," which also features a lovely Vince Guaraldi-like piano solo by William S. Henderson III, is downright pretty. Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong is a mellow and peaceful set by a player who no longer needs to make noise; whether old-school fans will appreciate this is debatable. ~ Stewart Mason, AMG Personnel: Pharoah Sanders (Tenor Saxophone) Donald Smith (Electric Piano) William Henderson (Piano) Tarik Shah (Double Bass) Greg Banoy (Drums) Leon Thomas (Vocals) - 1,4,6 Pharoah Sanders - Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong Tracks: 01 Oh Lord, Let Me Do No Wrong (Pharoah Sanders/Leon Thomas) 5:35 02 Equinox (John Coltrane) 9:24 03 Polka Dots And Moonbeams (Johnny Burke/James Van Heusen) 6:14 04 If It Wasn't For A Woman (Pharoah Sanders/Leon Thomas) 4:41 05 Clear Out Of This World (Al Dubin/Jimmy McHugh) 13:56 06 Next Time You See Me (Earl Forest/Bill Harvey/Herman Parker) 3:54
