The song, co-written with vocalist Leon Thomas, is by turns meditative and declamatory, with a long, cyclical form that starts out of tempo, eases into a steady groove (loosely based on the “Acknowledgement” motif from John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme), states a main melody and several countermelodies, bursts into a joyous double-time romp, then repeats the whole process. As a nearly album-length piece, it merits consideration alongside Ornette Coleman’s Free Jazz and Coltrane’s Ascension (the latter featuring Sanders). “Colors,” another Sanders-Thomas song, rounds out Karma much more concisely, in a floating and ethereal vein that recalls Coltrane pieces such as “Dear Lord” and “After the Rain.” Karma is pure psychedelic soul, a glorious convergence of Black Power and Flower Power. Its accessible groove is arguably related to some of the work appearing contemporaneously on Creed Taylor’s CTI label, though much harder-edged. Remarkably, Karma was recorded almost the exact same day as In a Silent Way by Miles Davis, and thus was truly a sign of changing times. Featuring James Spaulding on flute, Julius Watkins on French horn, and Nat Bettis on percussion, it’s also a key example of Sanders using expanded instrumentation and textures. Pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, drummer Billy Hart, and bassists Reggie Workman and Richard Davis complete the lineup, with Ron Carter and Freddie Waits substituting as the rhythm section on “Colors.”
无疑问的五星,但我其实觉得这张算不上法老最佳,可能是因为专辑结构(32+5),重心给第一首有些多了;而且第一首中偏free的部分不算喜欢——对他音乐中的spiritual成分更感兴趣。//Don't get me wrong. 这张仍然是难以多得的spiritual jazz大作,我很欣赏这张流淌出的一种「灵性」。

剛剛江邊一圈來回3Km,iPod里法老30多分鐘的一首The Creator Has A Master Plan相伴,頭腦中仿佛在經歷另一次旅行,前面的2/3其實很迷幻優美,後面1/3法老終于開始發力,排山倒海搬的高潮聲中我也完成了衝刺。大汗淋灕,爽。。。
