The Pharoah Sanders reissue reviewed here comprises two 1973 releases, "Village of the Pharoahs" and "Wisdom Through Music". I've literally waited decades for "Village" to appear on CD. Until now, it has been available only as very expensive Japanese or European imports. Sanders assembled a stellar group of musicians for these two albums, including Joe Bonner (piano) Calvin Hill, Cecil McBee and Stanley Clarke (bass), Art Webb, James Branch (flutes) Norman Conners, Jimmy Hopps (drums)and several percussionists, including Mtume and Miles Davis sideman Badal Roy. The style of music is mostly a fusion of jazz, polyrythmic African music, and eastern raga, with much use of exotic flutes, bells, shakers, vocal chants etc. Two tracks that really stand out for me are the extended title track of "Village", which is a very intense piece of trance music, featuring droning tamboura and vocal chanting, and an African folk melody from "Wisdom" called "The Golden Lamp". This latter track is both sad and joyful; a very beautiful tune that will not leave your head. For those seeking a pop music cross-reference, it would be fair to say that fans of 70s era Santana might find this to their liking. Finally, I must comment on the quality of the remastering, which is absolutely stunning. Every cymbal tap, bell, and woodblock can be heard in crystal clarity. No question that this is the definative issue of these two fine albums by this great artist. Review: My Man - I've loved Pharoah from his first ESP release to this very day. He can play so far out your ears implode, or so beautifully you'll cry. ("Kazuko - Peace Child" from "Journey to the One" is simply one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever on disc ~ check me out on that one, see if you agree.) This double "Impulse" import (all of which are exceptional) features two of his less well known endeavors. How cool! "Wisdom" is quite different with its simple, contagious melodies. "Village" covers more bases and is more diverse -- I think from some different sessions or time periods. (Who says recordings need a unifying them? They're not all novels ~ some are short story collections.) I love both of these albums and am glad to see them available to today's hep cats. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0051KFVPI | | Best Sellers Rank | #278,706 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #33,052 in Jazz (CDs & Vinyl) #116,729 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #121,910 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (47) | | Date First Available | June 3, 2011 | | Label | Impulse | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Impulse | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.59 x 4.92 x 0.47 inches; 3.53 ounces | | Run time | 1 hour and 10 minutes | ## Images ![Village Of The Pharoahs / Wisdom Through Music Impulse 2-on-1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OVlJUbW5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the Wait *by S***Y on August 10, 2011* This Impulse reissue is part of a remastered "twofer" series, combining two original albums by various jazz artists.
