Karma
Karma is my favorite Pharoah Sanders album. From 1969, the album is mostly avant-garde jazz and free jazz, with great playing by all musicians. It has the half hour long "The Creator Has a Master Plan", and the shorter "Colors". Many musicians are here, including Pharoah Sanders on tenor sax.
My favorite albums and songs of the 60s. 60s blues, folk, funk, girl groups, gospel, pop, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, R&B, soul, surf rock, and other genres of 60s music.
