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.

Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz
Free Jazz
Ornette Coleman's 1961 album of free jazz is one of the best. Many instruments play at the same time; drums, double bass, trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, with "Free Jazz" lasting almost 40 minutes. Solos are also here, with many musicians, including Ornette Coleman on alto saxophone.

John Coltrane - Ascension
Ascension
John Coltrane's 1966 album Ascension is unlike any other. It is mostly avant-garde jazz. The album starts with an ensemble, then a musician has a solo which last a few minutes each, then an ensemble again, then another solo from another musician... . Edition I and II are about 40 minutes each. The album has to be listened to several times to fully hear all that is going on. John Coltrane – tenor saxophone, Freddie Hubbard, Dewey Johnson – trumpet, Marion Brown, John Tchicai - alto saxophone, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp - tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner - piano, Art Davis, Jimmy Garrison - bass, and Elvin Jones - drums. I also like his A Love Supreme and Interstellar Space albums.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
A Love Supreme
One of the best jazz albums ever, jazz saxophonist John Coltrane's 1965 album A Love Supreme is a spiritual album. From "Acknowledgement", "Resolution", "Pursuance", to "Psalm ", it is a wonderful album of jazz, with great playing by all musicians. John Coltrane - tenor saxophone, Jimmy Garrison – bass, Elvin Jones – drums, and McCoy Tyner – piano. I also like his Ascension and Interstellar Space albums.
