Pharoah Sanders • Izipho Zam

 



Back in the day knowledgeable jazz collectors flipping through bins would always pause when a release from Strata-East, invariably adventuresome, appeared. Izipho Zam is a clear example. Recorded in January of 1969 with Clifford Jordan as producer, and eventually released by Strata-East in 1973, reflects Sanders’ Afro rhythms and spiritual influences, if not in full flower, then in full development. This was only the second album Sanders recorded as a leader, but its delayed release put it on record-store shelves next to recordings made several years later for Impulse. A stellar group of musicians joined Pharoah Sanders: Sonny Fortune on the saxophone, vocalist Leon Thomas, Sonny Sharrock on guitar, Billy Hart and Majeed Shabazz on drums as well as Chief Bey on African drums, bassists Cecil McBee and Sirone, pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, Howard Johnson on tuba and percussionists Nat Bettis and Tony Wylie, who are also joined by the ensemble adding extra textures and colour with the array of percussion instruments.

En su día, los coleccionistas de jazz entendidos que hojeaban los contenedores siempre se detenían cuando aparecía un lanzamiento de Strata-East, invariablemente aventurero. Izipho Zam es un claro ejemplo. Grabado en enero de 1969 con Clifford Jordan como productor, y publicado finalmente por Strata-East en 1973, refleja los ritmos afro y las influencias espirituales de Sanders, si no en plena floración, sí en pleno desarrollo. Éste fue sólo el segundo álbum que Sanders grabó como líder, pero su tardía publicación lo colocó en las estanterías de las tiendas de discos junto a grabaciones realizadas varios años después para Impulse. Un grupo estelar de músicos se unió a Pharoah Sanders: Sonny Fortune al saxofón, el vocalista Leon Thomas, Sonny Sharrock a la guitarra, Billy Hart y Majeed Shabazz a la batería, así como Chief Bey a los tambores africanos, los bajistas Cecil McBee y Sirone, el pianista Lonnie Liston Smith, Howard Johnson a la tuba y los percusionistas Nat Bettis y Tony Wylie, que también se unen al conjunto añadiendo texturas y color extra con la variedad de instrumentos de percusión.
