r entertainment I Grassroot New». N W. - Recently, Portland was honored with the presence of Pharoah Sanders, distinguished saxophone player and jazz pioneer. With awe, Pharoah was capulated from relative obscurity to world wide recogni tion as John Coltrane’ s right hand sax player. Many expected Pharoah to continue in the "Trane” tradition, but instead, he developed his own sound with powerful, robust tones, an incredible range and a softness o f ballads which is evidence o f his talents; a creator of original sounds.

His was an historical event that will always be remembered by Black Portland ers. His musicanship has manifested itself in a variety o f ways. One is his in fluence on a number o f artists that include Norman Connors and Stanley Clarke. In 1978, Pharoah recorded a production for Norman Connors which fused together such notable talents as Phyllis Hyman on vocals; David T. Walker, guitar; and the impressive Lenny White on drums. Only an energy like Sanders could have utilized all o f this talent, to have these same artists, later on, utilize the direction and energy given by Pharoah.

The older o f the two (her daughter) lives at mom’ s part time as she roams with a friend and the younger (son) lives at home fu ll time. They both seem to take advan tage o f their m other’ s generosity just because they are family. She complains often but doesn’ t know what to do about it. I suggested she ask them both to move permanetly and only come to visit. Do you think I was wrong? A Neighbor Dear Neighbor: I agree they’re both old enough to be independent o f their mom by now, but o f course they won’ t be as long as she lets them depend on her hospitality.

One might say it was his improvising on sax which inspired others to try to keep up and apply his unique rhythms which we find today in the Funk category. In an interview with Grassroot News N. M., Sanders said he tries not to go in the same direction as Jazz but goes where his energy takes him. " I call it free-flowing energy and my main thing is trying to control it . " His control over his horn is reflected in the way he improvises. It is easy to find yourself kicking back and listening to Sanders, as he moves through different cosmic, rhythmic zones. He is one the last o f those performers who don’ t use mixers or microphones. " I like natural sounds with out mikes. Sometimes I have played where the sound has gone out. It doesn’ t stop me. I just keep on playing.” he said. The power of Pharoah is demanding serious re-assessment. The scope of his music reveals with each new album, the height o f his development. He is moving ahead with patience and the belief in the Creator of A ll. His music expresses his lifestyle, in sounds rather than words.
