Africa brings together the legendary Pharoah Sanders with an all-star lineup featuring pianist John Hicks, bassist Curtis Lundy, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Recorded in 1987, this album captures Sanders’ distinct sound—rooted in spiritual jazz and expressive improvisation—delivering deeply felt performances marked by passion and nuance.
This release showcases some of Sanders’ most powerful compositions, including “You’ve Got To Have Freedom” and the title track, “Africa.” With its stripped-back ensemble and dynamic interplay, Africa stands out as a testament to the group’s extraordinary musicianship and sensitivity, offering a rewarding listen for both longtime fans and newcomers to jazz.
