It was born out of a misunderstanding between him and the India Navigation producer Bob Cummins and was recorded at a crossroads in his career with a group of musicians so unlikely that they were never all in the same room again. There was a guitarist who was also a spiritual guru, an organist who would go on to co-write and produce “The Message,” and a classically trained pianist - his wife at the time, Bedria Sanders - who played the harmonium despite never having seen one. At times ambient and serene, at others funky and modal, \u003ci\u003ePharoah\u003c\/i\u003e radically departed from his earlier work. It would become one of the artist’s most beloved records and one of the great works of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luaka Bop","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50389427257675,"sku":"2046593","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50389427093835,"sku":"2046591","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PHAROAH_SANDERS_-_PHAROAH_-_CDLBOP8008_ad9d4d2a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726360522","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/pharoah-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
