Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986

Description

The Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986, recorded live in Germany on February 15, immortalizes legendary tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and renowned pianist John Hicks in a moment of profound musical harmony. Sanders, known for his evolution from fiery free jazz to deeply lyrical spiritualism, plays here with warmth, focus, and striking emotional clarity. Hicks responds with a luminous touch, rich harmonies, and an innate sense of space that elevates every phrase. Together, they deliver a program of great precision, blending Coltrane classics like "Giant Steps" and "Central Park West," original compositions such as "Heart To Heart," as well as other timeless standards. From the serenity of "After the Rain" to the quiet spiritual power of "The Creator Has A Master Plan/Thembi," the duo navigates with ease between tenderness, swing, and transcendence. Their interaction feels almost telepathic, two distinct voices merging into a shared musical vision. This first vinyl edition of the legendary Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986 is a true spiritual communion. The double album is available now and includes new liner notes written by jazz journalist Bret Primack. The Timeless Jazz 50th anniversary commemorative sticker is affixed to the protective sleeve.
