1LP Vinyl 700233

Building on the back of their recent, stellar reissue of Eddie Gale’s Ghetto Music, Elemental Music continues their long-standing initiative to make important works from the history of jazz available to a new generation of listeners with the much needed and long overdue, first ever vinyl reissue of Pharoah Sanders towering 1973 classic Village of the Pharoahs. Easily some of Sanders most radical music ever laid to tape, unfolding as a bristling hybrid of modal, spiritual jazz and driving free improvisation that draws upon the deepest wells of emotion and creativity, its hard to think of better or more important albums of its time.
