5.0 out of 5 stars Sanders in an excellent religious mood, February 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prayer Before Dawn (Audio CD)

This is a Sanders'cd I would recommend to all those who have heard of Sanders as a wild musician,shrieking through the saxophone. Here,he is in a very mellow, ,not to say soft ,mood.Religiosity or more accurately,spirituality permeates all the numbers on this cd.He reminds us of an evening service in a protestant church. Even those who are not fanatic jazz fans but like music with rythm should enjoy this cd which is definitely,one of the best this African-American Griot has produced.

A Prayer Before Dawn is a jazz cd by Pharoah Sanders that I am hearing for the first time. I must say that I am impressed by eloquence of each track and the passion exihibited by Pharoah with each musical tone played on his Sax. It is a very good CD, easy to listen and captures your imagination. Pharoah has done it again. One of my alltime favorite Jazz musician, as well as a fellow Arkansan.
