A deep, spiritual journey from one of jazz’s most transcendent figures, *Village of the Pharoahs* captures Pharoah Sanders at a time of bold exploration and cosmic creativity. Originally released in 1973 on Impulse! and now faithfully reissued by Elemental Music, this album blends free jazz, Eastern influences, and African rhythms into a sound that’s meditative, searching, and utterly unique.

Across three expansive parts, Sanders leads a dynamic ensemble through hypnotic grooves, cascading percussion, and soaring improvisations—an immersive sonic ritual that reflects his deepening spiritual path. The reissue preserves the warmth and richness of the original analog recordings, making it an essential piece for collectors and new listeners alike.

A vital document of 1970s spiritual jazz at its most raw and radiant.
