This Island Earth
Sunday December 4th, 2022 with Manmohan Panesar
Tribute to the late great Pharoah Sanders (no recordings from Pharoah himself as leader)

Skip to Tracks
Welcome to TIE, CKCU's weekly exploration of music from all over the globe. This program will feature a tribute to the late great saxophonist, Pharoah Sanders (born Ferrell Lee Sanders October 13, 1940 – September 24, 2022). This is a different take with Pharoah as we feature recordings where he is NOT the primary artist/leader but rather a featured or guest artist in collaboration with the primary lead artist. Enjoy from sonic delights from Pharoah, ever a musical explorer. Rest in power! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/sep/27/pharoah-sanders-obituary

Hi Manmohan, I am glad you are back and in fine form once again. My huge congrats to the T.I.E. Team for your fundraising efforts this year—not an easy feat. Still, we must keep up the effort as we inch closer to this year’s goal. Really enjoying the music that is playing now.

Hi enbee-yow!! I'll have to ask you about the 'yow'. :-) One of faves as well along with Transfiguration, World Galaxy, Universal Consciousness and Ptah! hard to choose one over the others for me, but today as this is the only one of those that features Pharoah, that's the one for today. Hah.

Resistance is futile! LOL. I'm going home now to cook up something a load of garlic! I only picked up the Floating Points record recently on wax and haven't as yet listened to it on headphones. Maybe this evening while breathing out garlic fumes.
