Pharoah Sanders' Izipho Zam (My Gifts) is a groundbreaking jazz masterpiece. Recorded in 1969, two years after John Coltrane's passing, and released in 1973 on Strata-East, the album features a 13-member ensemble, including Sonny Sharrock , Lonnie Liston Smith , Cecil McBee , and Leon Thomas .
Blending Eastern influences with expansive jazz, Sanders' genius is highlighted with " Prince of Peace ," showcasing Thomas' unique vocals, and the 28-minute title track, offering an exploration of dissonance and harmony with West African percussion and meditative chants.
For the first time ever, this seminal work from a legendary saxophonist will be available on CD and digital platforms, as well as on 180-gram vinyl as a Record Store Day 2025 exclusive on April 12, 2025.
