About this product
This in a series of live recordings of concerts from the Fabrik in Hamburg-Altona, one of those hidden treasures from the archive of the NDR, was intended to bring back the memory of changes and revolutions in the world of jazz of more than four decades ago. It has now turned into an obituary - at the end of September 2022 the tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders passed away at the age of 81. This recording of the Sanders Quartet from 6 June 1980 is so far the oldest from the Fabrik, predating the great jazz-epoch of the venue. An era, which even today Thomas Engel, the first program planner of the Fabrik, describes as a very special period for popular and not-so-popular culture in Hamburg and far beyond. Furthermore, this concert formed part of the then fifth edition of what was still called the New Jazz Festival, a summit of German, European and US-American musicians. Only thanks to the NDR Bigband, top-class jazz was performed at the old industrial site on Barnerstrasse in Altona at all. In the mid-1970s, the band was brave enough to leave it's familiar recording studio and perform rousing concerts at the Fabrik. Since 1976, the New Jazz Festival organised by Wolfgang Kunert, the program planner of the big band, institutionalised jazz music at this exceptional location.

On this live concert recording from 1998, tenor saxophonist Sanders & percussionists Rudolf & Drake paint a sonic canvas with vibrating, chanting lines, inflecting the sound with world music instruments, including traps, frames, tablas, djembe, udu, gong, bendir & many other strange & wonderful things. Reminiscent of Pharoah Sanders early 70s Impulse recordings. (Previously deleted 7/1/07. Original date 6/13/00)

Sanders is incredible on tenor and soprano saxophones as well as flutes, bells and vocals; this multi-instrumental approach has made him one of the most sampled musicians of today and he is currently very fashionable with acid jazz and hip hop fans as well as his loyal core audience. Produced by Bill Laswell, his latest offering fuses African rhythms with traditional jazz idioms and even more futuristic ambient styles, making it appealing to dance, street and underground clubs.
