Karma (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)

Pharoah Sanders' Karma from 1969 captures the tenor saxophonist at his most spiritually expansive, building massive sonic architectures from extended modal explorations. The album consists of just two side-long compositions that stretch beyond 19 minutes each, with Sanders' piercing saxophone work floating over hypnotic rhythmic foundations and Leon Thomas's distinctive yodeling vocals.
