4.0 out of 5 starsAshes to Ashes
By Enrique Torres VINE VOICE on March 2, 2004
Format: Audio CD
Recorded in performance at the legendary Ash Grove in Los Angeles over several different September nights in 1973 this Lp captures Pharoah Sanders at the height of his musical powers. Sanders, who played with John Coltrane quite often on this recording sounds like Trane himself. The sax work ranges from meditative and reflective to disturbingly out there on a different plane. As a reflection of life itself which can go from peaceful and beautiful to chaotic and violent in a moments notice the msuic touches all bases. The vast majority is on the peaceful side but I guess Pharoah Sanders has to exorcise his demons or at least demonstrate mankinds ills on occasion. His music can be as tranquill has a sunset over a calm ocean that suddenly becomes stormy, unleashing thunder and lightning and pelting you with torrents of rain; it is still a beautiful sight to behold or in this case to listen to. Although recorded live there is not much audible reaction from the crowd, although on a couple of tracks you can hear the audience, but the band members definitely have hot mics as you can hear them interacting throughout the recording. On "Ore-Se-Rere" Sanders delivers some vocal harmony with the other band members in an African-chant-like fashion underneath some heavy percussion work without one single note on the saxophone! The result is evidence that a good time was had by all. Three of the five songs are Sanders original compostions that have plenty of room for free form improvisation. "The Gathering " is one such jam that begins with some vocal chants and some wild, blitzkrieg tenor work by Sanders that some people would dismiss as screeching and honking on all registers of the instrument but their is a method to Pharoah Sanders's musical madness.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAn Overlooked Gem
By A. Benjamin on November 12, 2003
Format: Audio CD
"Elevation" is an album that fits nicely with much of the rest of Pharoah's Impulse! catalogue. Most of the elements one would expect to find in a Pharoah Sanders album from this period (early 1970s) are here: music that is alternately meditative and furious (some of the best free improv of the period can be found in those loud furious orgiastic moments); chants; tunes that place emphasis on percussion; at least one tune featuring sitar. Add to the mix elements of Nigerian Highlife. He's at the top of his game, and the band plays with that sense of looseness and familiarity that comes with years of working together. Mostly it sounds like a bunch of good friends having a deep, spirited conversation. Well worth picking up. Hopefully "Elevation" will be reissued here in the States.

4.0 out of 5 starsEssential Pharoah
By R. Bland on November 16, 2005
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
A gem because it is mostly live, recorded at a defunct club in L.A. for unconventional styles. You must accept that at any moment P. Sanders can go from serene to surreal. If you can hold on, he'll bring it full circle. A good introduction or addition to a fan.

5.0 out of 5 starsgreat music, great musicians, lousy record company
By Erik Srgaard on September 30, 2005
Format: Audio CD
The 5 stars is for the music - recorded live in 1973.

Elevation is one of Pharoas finest recordings containing some

of the best music from the period. With influences from Africa,

India and - something that is always at the heart of Sanders`

music -the blues. And not to forget - there is a lot of joy

and happiness here.

Unfortunately -what we get is not the complete picture. It is

understandable that the original lp only contained parts of the

performances. But a cd can contain close to 90 minutes of music

so it would have been possible for Impulse to put out a cd with

the complete tracks.But then of course - it is cheaper to put out

replicas.

Mosaic would do a better job with this great music.
