Pharoah Sanders – Thembi (LP Vinyl) artist-questlove real-stakes country music is exactlyPharoah Sanders spent the late '60s pushing the outer limits of spiritual jazz alongside John Coltrane, and by 1971 he had fully stepped into his own voice. Thembi captures him at a restless creative peak, drawing on African rhythms, Eastern tonality, and electric textures in ways that put him in conversation with what Miles Davis and others were exploring at the same moment, though Sanders always kept one foot rooted in the sacred.
