"Pharaoh Sanders, Bay Area saxaphone great, brings you Love Ballads, a hard-to-get release of his magic tones. At times warm and smooth, at times honking with emotion. If you can ever see him perform live, you will be astounded. When he's on, his playing can make you cry. I don't care how tough you are- its true. His jazz is like a whalesong- its that deep ."

Upper and Lower Egypt

"I first heard of Pharoah Sanders at the age of 10 years old, (I'm now 49 years old). I became a fan of his music from the first time I heard him play that sax. I had a number of his albums over the years which were lost or stolen. I have seen him perform in New York City once a few years ago (great show, I rode that feeling for a couple of weeks). I must find this recording with Upper and Lower Egypt on it, so I can listen to it every day. The vaule of his music is far greater than the dollar vaule."
