ELEMENTAL PRESSING - 180g vinyl. 7/19/24 Thembi is the seventh album by free jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, released in 1971. Dedicated to his South-African wife Nomathemba "Thembi", as noted on the backsleeve of the original album.
VERVE PRESSING - Verve by request series. 8/9/24 Released in 1971 on Impulse and recorded with two different ensembles, Thembi marked a departure from the slowly developing, side-long, mantra-like grooves Sanders had been pursuing for much of his solo career. Instead, it offers an intriguingly wide range of relatively concise ideas resulting in something of an anomaly in Sanders' prime period. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
