Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary saxophonist surprisingly incorporated elements of late-90s smooth jazz and subtle electronic downtempo beats into his deeply spiritual sound on this release. 'Save Our Children' balances Pharoah Sanders's famously impassioned avant-garde improvisations with notably accessible, culturally diverse contemporary rhythms and production techniques.
