5.0 out of 5 stars Mind Blowing Beauty and Joy, May 10, 2007

By	Loco Sonador "Xango" (California) - See all my reviews

Pharoah is one of the great successors of John Coltrane in the tradition of deeply spiritual African American jazz. Seeing this quartet numerous times around the time of this recording was an overwhelmingly joyous and uplifting experience. Waves and waves of ecstasy, happiness, bliss. I always regretted being too young to see "The Master" - John Coltrane play live (he died when I was a child) but, Pharoah continues that legacy beautifully. Go See Him Live if you ever get the chance!!!! You will not regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars rock and rap confidential tell us, September 15, 2003

By A Customer

Recorded in 1981 at three shows - a quartet driven by drummer Idris Muhammad. "You've Got to Have Freedom" summarizes the spirit of the entire enterprise, filled as it is with the reflective fire that always drives Sanders's music. Pianist John Hicks has his McCoy Tyner down pat, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz DJ Rates 'Em, May 7, 2004

By	cal walker (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

Damn! This recording changed my life.

Bought it on Teresa Records vinyl years ago.

The keyboard action by John Hicks is simply amazing. I have never heard another session like it!

Idris on drums, what can I say.

"You've got to have freedom" will captivate you with energy, and you will listen until you wear it out! One of the best; ever!

Take some quality time with this one! Even a deaf, dumb, and blind man will get into this!

“Live

by Pharoah Sanders

is mainly Free Jazz, quite Avant-Garde, with hints of Bebop”
