Description
Pharoah Sanders' first new work in more than a decade!
Promises is a new album by Floating Points, aka Sam Shepherd, and jazz saxophone legend Pharoah Sanders. Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, the nine-part work is the first new music from Sanders, the 80-year-old jazz luminary, in more than a decade.
The LP comes in a gatefold jacket with die cut shapes that show through to a fantastic painting by visual artist Julie Mehretu.
Last year, Parisian label Transversales Disques reissued some live material from Sanders as Live in Paris (1975). Floating Points' most recent album was 2019's Crush. Shepherd later remixed Caribou's "Sister" and "Never Come Back," two songs off Caribou's celebrated album Suddenly.
