Pharoah Sanders - Karma

Pharoah Sanders — Karma on SHM-SACD

Japanese pressing features the high-fidelity SHM-SACD format (single layer). Cardboard sleeve packaging. Universal. 2025.

Released in May of 1969, Karma was the famed tenor saxophonist's third Impulse! Records album and is now
seen as a milestone of the Spiritual Jazz movement. A natural progression in the sonic exploration that
Sanders, along with John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane, had spearheaded throughout the previous five years, the
album features two tracks, the 32-minute-long "The Creator Has A Master Plan," and "Colors." Filling the entire A-Side of the LP, "Creator," co-composed by Sanders with vocalist Leon Thomas, is as close as Spiritual Jazz comes to having its own anthem. Meanwhile, the lone B-side track, "Colors," is no less transfixing. A jazz legend, Sanders died at age 81 on September 24, 2022.
