Mark de Clive-Lowe & superb cast of Los Angeles-based musicians pay tribute to Pharoah Sanders on live recording ‘Freedom’
London’s Soul Bank Music is releasing a much-anticipated 2xLP live concert recording featuring electronic jazz and broken beat pioneer and multi-instrumentalist Mark de Clive-Lowe and a superb cast of LA’s most creative musicians, performing a tribute to spiritual jazz living legend Pharoah Sanders.
These incredible historic concerts, which took place over three nights at the now-closed Blue Whale in Los Angeles in June 2018, also features saxophonist Teodross Avery, bassist Corbin Jones, drummer Tommaso Cappellato, percussionist Carlos Nino, and the highly renowned spiritual jazz vocalist Dwight Trible.
Throughout these sessions titled Freedom, the group brilliantly captures the spirit of Pharoah while each adding their own unique elements to the music, performing some of the jazz great’s most iconic and groundbreaking compositions including “Upper Egypt”, “You’ve Got to Have Freedom”, “Thembi”, “The Creator Has a Master Plan”, “Astral Travelling”, “Love is Everywhere” and more.
After personally experiencing this music live when the group performed a similar show in Oakland at the Spirithaus Gallery, and the energy, love, and spiritualism that was strongly present in the room that evening, it’s great that this outstanding and heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest and most influential musicians of our time can now be shared to widespread audiences around the world.
