Africa (Pharoah Sanders album)


Africa is an album led by saxophonist Pharoah Sanders recorded in 1987 and released on the Dutch Timeless label.

Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy commented: "Most will probably prefer the original Coltrane to Sanders' imitations, but Africa is nonetheless a joyous and worthy tribute to one of the giants of jazz. This album marked somewhat of a backtrack for the saxophonist, as he had frequently become identified with much more traditional playing".
