Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has a Master Plan 2/3

Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has a Master Plan. Karma, February 14, 1969. Pharoah Sanders (ts); Leon Thomas (vcl, percussion); Richard Davis (b); Julius Watkins (french horn); James Spaulding (fl); Reggie Workman (b); Lonnie L. Smith Jr. (p); William Hart (d); Nathaniel Bettis (percussion). 33 minutes approx.

There was a time, when peace was on the earth,
and joy and happiness did reign. Each man
knew his worth. In my heart how I yearn for
that spirit's return and I cry, as time flies,
oooomm, oooomm.

There is a place where love forever shines, and
rainbows are the shadows of a presence so
devine, and the glow of his love lights
the heavens above, and it's free, come with me,
can't you see.

The Creator has a working plan - peace and
happiness for every man.

The Creator has a master plan - peace and
happiness for every man.

The Creator makes but one demand, happiness
thru all the land.

Could some one help me with the name of a tune by pharoah, it begins with Egyptian style music converting in to a more jazzy tune then it ends with this really deep double bass any ideas?

[Praguedive]

@aluxbalum Elevation perhaps?

In San Francisco, late night, walking along with my girl friend looking for a bagel shop. Saw Pharoah Sanders standing outside in the chill night air. Told him how much I loved this album. He invited us in and we got to sit right under the stage while they played ALL of Karma, seemed like over an hour. Later married the girl, but later got divorced. Still love this song. Best jazz piece ever, even more than Coltrane or Miles.

how is it that the first part of this video has 14K views but the second and third only have under 3000?

how could anybody have anything better to do than listen to this whole song? (actually its less of a song and more of a poetic, expressive epic that rivals homer's odyssey)

[Phan2Angel7]

@hoytchristmas Aside from the divorce part, but damn, that's awesome. You met one of the greatest jazzmen in the world, and he was even friendly enough to invite you in. Now that has to be a good memory.

@ssur55 I couldn't agree more.

@thebroisland Hey thank you for the recommendation, this is not the song I herd I remember clearly starting with Egyptian like soft music converting into more jazzy tunes with a deep deep double bass on the last 2 minutes or so and finalizing with a solo double bass if it rings a bell let me know thank you for your help cheers

@aluxbalum

Perhaps Sun in Aquarius? Starts with about 12 minutes of (apparently) loosely organized noise, breaks into a more structured jazz tune for a while, double bass break for a while, ends with noise (pardon if I'm not using the correct term).

[aluxbalum]

@drummerman558 Thank you for the recommendations, but no these are not the tune I had listed. I herd it on KCRW Los Angeles, about 8 years ago it was the ONLY time I ever herd this tune from Pharoah maybe it was one of those rarities hopefully one day I can find it again

[drummerman558]

@aluxbalum Maybe "Morning Tala"or "Village of Pharoahs"

Funny about Pharaoh Sanders, I hated him with John Coltrane. His boring, monotonic screeching ruined a lot of later period Coltrane for me, but I really like, even love, his solo work.

the mastery continued as He willed it to be done.
