RIP Pharoah Sanders. Saw him live twice, in 1994 or so & again in 2019; a crushing force both times. Four albums I always return to:
Thembi
Live At The East
Chicago/São Paulo Underground feat. Pharoah — Spiral Mercury
Maleem Mahmoud Ghania & Pharoah — The Trance Of Seven Colors

This act of domestic terrorism by a racist, anti-Semitic white supremacist using an AR-15 should be a call to action.
