It Is Time to Worship Pharoah Sanders
A saxophonist/flautist of extraordinary finesse, spirituality, and power, Pharoah Sanders has cut several astral-jazz classics that also appeal to psych- and noise-rock heads (I got into him after reading an interview with the Stooges in which the seminal Detroit rockers cited Sanders’s Tauhid as inspirational). Sanders is also responsible for one of my favorite pieces of music: “The Creator Has a Master Plan,” which makes this agnostic believe in God, Heaven, everlasting peace—all that corny shit—at least while it’s playing. Go and see if this 75-year-old legend can still blow holy fire at the Triple Door (216 Union St, 838-4333, 7 pm & 9:30 pm, $27/$30, all ages/21+.)
