Interesting that it's just a quartet whilst the contemporaneous albums, or at least from the year previously, were with more musicians. Track listing is linked here https://transversales.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-paris-1975 I don't know the piano player Nixon, also on organ which is intriguing. Other players are Pharaoh regulars. I think this could be a very nice issue Danny Mixon played with Betty Carter, on Mingus "Cumbia & Jazz Fusion" and on the good Danny Richmond "Ode To Mingus" album .... Quote
Pim Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 I think I am going to buy this. I do love the India Navigation album from this period. And Calvin Hill is a great bassist. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 I think I'm going to also. I often prefer the later Impulse albums, which I appreciate is a minority opinion, and the India Navigation so this set is right in my timeline Quote
felser Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 Listening to sample now. Looks like you need to order the LP to get the download, and that is running into a good bit of money, and the mix is really bad, with the non-drums percussion way too high as to be quite annoying. Quote

Agreed. Danny Mixon was a very fine piano player and played the organ too. He was lesser known than let´s say Don Pullen, but his piano work on Mingus´ 1976 tour band (I´m thinking About Mingus at Willisau and Mingus in Vienna) is great and he could play all styles, also very fine stride piano. About Pharoah Sanders I´d also say that 1975 must have been a period of Transition. Not so much is known About this period. We all knew his work on Impulse, with Trane or on his own Albums, above all "Karma", and later in the early 80´s he came back to the Scene, but in a more traditional manner with a classic ts, p, b, dr quartet, like Archie Shepp. Those two free jazz Icons still had much to say, but they also reached a wider audience playing standards too…..

clifford_thornton Posted February 11, 2020 Report Posted February 11, 2020 Pharoah made some disco moves in the late 70s too, if memory serves. On Arista, maybe? I tend to avoid that era of his music, as well as some others'. Quote
JSngry Posted February 11, 2020 Report Posted February 11, 2020 "Disco" is a misnomer. He made one album produced by Norman Connors that was R&B Pop. Not his best record by a long shot, but there was this single, with vocal by Phyllis Hyman, that sounded REALLY good on the radio back in the day. I mean, if you don't like it, you don't like it. But I myself do like it very much. Either way, that's not in the least bit Disco, nor is the rest of the record. At least not Disco a I would call it. Quote

Gheorghe Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 My favourite Pharoah Sanders Album that was made after the 60´s/early 70´s is this one: It has all: a classic quartet, on one tune vocals added, one tune some happy african chant, and also some boppish stuff (Dameron´s "Misty Night").

Gheorghe Posted February 12, 2020 Report Posted February 12, 2020 oh yes I have this also ! Actually I bought it before I bought "Heart is a Melody" . I think this Album "Live" was advertised in "Jazz Podium" during the time it appeared. That´s how I got to purchase it. And shortly afterwards seeing Pharoah live with his quartet. I remember William Henderson was on piano. But I don´t remember the Bassist and the Drummer (1985 Holabrun Lower Austria) Quote
Pim Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 What bothers me more is the ridiculous price. 30 dollars on amazon and 38 euros in a Dutch music store. I’ll pass for now. Quote
felser Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Much less expensive on Discogs. Always remember to check there also. https://www.discogs.com/Pharoah-Sanders-Live/master/184904 Quote

cliffpeterson Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Posted March 3, 2021 According to Dusty Groove, this recording will be released on cd in April, 2021, presumably because the Japanese market demands it to be so: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/979452?cat=jazz&incl_cs=1&no_incl_in=1&sort_order=release_date Quote

Pre-order coming. Now we need the Nathan Davis on CD. Quote
Dub Modal Posted March 4, 2021 Report Posted March 4, 2021 Lovely. I passed on the LP foolishly during one of those Target 3 for 2 sales. Quote
