    Ever since Pharoah Sanders recorded his first solo album in 1964, slowly developing, page-long (and sometimes even longer!) and mantra-like improvisations have been one of his trademarks. In this respect, the 1971 album "Thembi" stood out in the saxophonist and flautist's discography. Here he presented an astonishingly wide range of relatively concise ideas in six songs with a top-class ensemble.
