Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam (My Gifts)
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.
It includes new liner notes by Harmony Holiday and never-before-seen photos, making this release a must-have for jazz enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Strata- East's commitment to artist- produced records and high production standards has earned it a revered place in jazz history.
