Crescent With Love – Pharoah Sanders Quartet – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Few albums embody reverence and creative kinship quite like ‘Crescent With Love.’ Pharoah Sanders, a saxophonist renowned for his deeply expressive playing and spiritual approach, leads his quartet through a heartfelt tribute to John Coltrane. Recorded in 1992, this album finds Sanders—once a Coltrane sideman—returning to the master’s book with an ensemble that listens as intently as it plays. The selections span Coltrane’s compositional range, from the meditative grace of ‘Naima’ to the searching intensity of ‘Lonnie’s Lament,’ each rendered with Sanders’ distinctively warm, searching tone. The interplay between pianist William Henderson, bassist Charles Fambrough, and drummer Sherman Ferguson creates a contemplative space where Sanders’ saxophone both soars and soothes. Rather than mimicry, the performances reflect deep understanding and original voice, breathing new life into familiar material. For listeners who value not just technical mastery but emotional resonance, ‘Crescent With Love’ stands as a testament to jazz’s enduring power to heal and inspire. This is a must-have for any jazz collection—both as a document of Sanders’ mature artistry and as a living conversation with Coltrane’s spiritual legacy.
