Two years after the death of his mentor and boss, John Coltrane, and just before signing his own contract with Impulse!, Pharoah Sanders finally got around to releasing an album as a leader apart from the Impulse! family. Enlisting a cast of characters no less than 13 in number, Sanders proved that his time with Coltrane and his Impulse! debut, Tauhid, was not a fluke. Though hated by many of the jazz musicians at the time -- and more jazz critics who felt Coltrane had lost his way musically the minute he put together the final quintet -- Sanders followed his own muse to the edges of Eastern music and sometimes completely outside the borderlines of what could be called jazz. That said, Izipho Zam is a wonderful recording, full of the depth of vision and heartfelt soul that has informed every recording of Sanders since. Guests include Sonny Sharrock, Lonnie Liston Smith, Chief Bey, Cecil McBee, Sirone, Sonny Fortune, Billy Hart, Howard Johnson, and others. The set begins with a gorgeous soul tune in "Prince of Peace," with Leon Thomas doing his trademark yodel, croon, and wail as Smith, McBee, and Hart back him and Sanders fills the gaps. Next is "Balance," the first blowing tune on the set, with the African drums, the modal horns, and Sanders' microtonal investigations of sonic polarity contrasted with Johnson's tuba, leaving the rhythm section to join him as Sharrock and Smith trade drone lines and Sanders turns it into a Latin dance from outer space about halfway through to the end -- it's astonishing. Finally, on the 28-minute title track, the band members -- all of them -- begin a slow tonal inquiry, a textured traipse into the abyss of dissonance and harmonic integration, with Thomas as the bridge through which all sounds must travel on their way to the ensemble. From here, percussion, bells, whistles, Sharrock's heavily chorded guitar -- all provide rhythm upon interval upon tonal figure until the horns enter at about 12 minutes. They move slowly at first and gather force until they blast it right open at 20 minutes and the last eight are all free blowing and an endurance ride for the listener because, with four minutes left, Sanders leads the band in a gorgeous lyric ride that brings together all disparate elements in his world and ours, making this track -- and album -- an exhilarating, indispensable out jazz experience.

i love this album so much. i come back here whenever i feel like i need exfoliate my mind.
😂😂🍻
'prince of peace' is what the WHOLE world needs to hear right now...
This album is up there with Tauhid and Karma my personal favorites. Everything Sanders does is glorious - his music is life~changing, one cannot say that about all artists needless to say
The voice of Leon Thomas make it better.
Really good musicians, Sanders, Sharrock, Lonnie Liston... beautiful.
Not especially a free jazz or any kind of jazz person.This though, it's one of the greatest things I've ever heard. Organic, mesmerizing, full of spirit. Hell, overflowing with spirit!
🍻💯
Great album... It is clearly to hear in which direction he will go. Pharoah is my alltime fave musician
Sonny Sharrock on guitar! Im so happy I could cry
One of the greatest to touch the guitar!
Pharoah Sanders est décédé . C'est comme un coup de poignard dans mon coeur musical car il à été un des plus fabuleux créateurs du jazz contemporain alliant jazz créatif et influences musicales multiples et un son de saxophone inimitable et toujours accompagné de musiciens de qualité . Combien de fois j'ai écouté KARMA , THEMBI , TAUHID etc. quand il était sur la célèbre marque de disque « IMPULSE » Il y eu aussi des ratées certes dans sa carrière comme « love is everywhere » signant la fin sur cette marque . Puis ce fut disparate , difficile de trouver en France des lp's de Pharoah , mais ouf aujourd'hui on à internet et on se rend compte qu'il à beaucoup oeuvré sur disque ou sur scène même dans des années plus récentes . Merci à tous ceux qui comme moi ont aimé PHAROAH . N'hésitez pas à m'écrire . NORBERT.
for me, "Love is Everywhere" is Pharoah making his most intense moments more accessible to listeners. and connecting that to Coltrane, "A Love Supreme." it may not speak to you, but it comes from the heart, and it speaks to the heart.
I don't know how Pharoah kept going, after Coltrane, after Impulse! but he did, and I have to honor that. the same way people who loved "Hum Allah" and "The Creator Has a Mater Plan" had to deal with the intensity of "Tauhid" and "Elevation." he was incredibly powerful, and many-sided, and never what any of us expected.
"Balance" is easily one of the greatest ensemble performance recordings of the whole "New Thing". I often go back to this recording with reverence and astonishment.
Hi O.D. Jones, I agree. And as a former tuba player, I'm astonished at how certain Howard Johnson's tone and power is on those super low tuba notes he plays insistently in the middle of that piece.
The sound of the World !!!!!!!!!!
C'est une petite invitation pour ce qui deviendra peu après Tauhid , Karma , Jewels of thought , Thembi merci Pharoah pour tout le bonheur musical que tu m'à apporté .
En effet! La musique de Pharoah est vraiment une bénédiction.
Noblesse oblige !!!
Some of the best performing jazz musicians ever! Love unlimited...
d'accord !!!
God is great
I had the vinyl when it first came out, but somehow lost it. Such a pleasure to be able to hear this marvelous music again. My favorite Pharoah, along with Summun Bukmun Umyun (which is relatively easy to get on CD).
Love Leon Thomas's yodelling here. So soulful!
Le Jimi Hendrix du jazz sax free . Remarquable . J'adore . NORBERT .
Such a tasty album. Absolutely classic.
Rewards your utmost attention a million times over.
I have had this album since it was released on Strata East and I never realized it came before Jewels of Thought and Karma until I read it above.
OMG Balance ... Thank you, thank you, thank you

merci pour cet album entier * thanks for this full album
j'aime lle pharaon I* ' love pharoah (... and leon thomas!)
chaque fois que j'écoute cet album, je perds toute ma colère ! c'est un médicament que je conseille ! (attention : c'est pas un vaccin!)
(i forget !) (each time i listen this album, i loose my angry) it's like a medecine !
13:42 sounds like a lady screaming, freaked me out for sure. On that same note, this just goes to show the raw expressive power of jazz. One of the few times I felt that it was actually kind of scary, this and Coltrane's "Interstellar Space" - some of the most extreme/profound jazz I have ever heard. To such a technical extent, it's actually scary.
RIP😔
Thanks for sharing.
1973..when i was born. Fcking unbelivable
Bad Witch

My bad, sorry, that was the PETA documentary...
The lyric stile of singing look like 70's italian singer Demetrio Stratos...
This record is from 69 not 73 unless that’s just the pressing of this version
It was recorded in 69 but first released in 73
Who taught Pharaoh Zulu?
