Pharoah Sanders playing “The Creator Has a Master Plan” live in 1968 - before Karma
Found this 1968 live performance of Pharoah Sanders playing **“The Creator Has a Master Plan”** with Lonnie Liston Smith on piano, Norman “Sirone” Jones on bass, and Majeed Shabazz on drums.
What struck me is how much you can hear the Coltrane connection - that searching, spiritual intensity - but also how clearly Sanders is already moving into his own thing. This is before *Karma* made the piece one of the defining statements of spiritual jazz, so it feels like catching the idea while it’s still raw and erupting on stage.
Curious what people here think of this period of Pharoah. Do you hear it more as an extension of late Coltrane, or as the beginning of Sanders’ own spiritual jazz language?
