1987 studio album by Pharoah Sanders
Africa Pharoah Sanders recorded in 1987 and released on the Dutch Timeless label.[ 1]
In his review for AllMusic , Steve Loewy commented: "Most will probably prefer the original Coltrane to Sanders' imitations, but Africa is nonetheless a joyous and worthy tribute to one of the giants of jazz. This album marked somewhat of a backtrack for the saxophonist, as he had frequently become identified with much more traditional playing".[ 2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [ 3]
Matt Fripp of Jazz Fuel included the album in his selection of "Ten Iconic Pharoah Sanders Albums," and wrote: "Sanders is able to tame the wilder musical excesses of his youth in favour of a simple, melodically inspired approach."[ 5]
