Initially introduced as a protégé of Music/JohnColtrane. Sanders would play and record with Coltrane for over three years releasing his debut record, ''Pharaoh's First'', in 1964 while still apart of Coltrane's mid-60s band, notably playing on Coltrane's seminal, yet polarizing free jazz outing, ''Ascension''. Coltrane would die in 1967, however, Pharoah would continue to emulate his spiritual concepts to influence his horn playing.

->''"I don't really see the horn anymore. I'm trying to see myself. And similarly, as to the sounds I get, it's not that I'm trying to scream on my horn, I'm just trying to put all my feelings into the horn. And when you do that, the notes go away...why do I want clusters of notes? So that I can get more feeling, more of me, into every note I play. You see, everything you do has to mean something, has to be more than just notes. That's behind everything I do, trying to get more ways of getting feeling out."''

''Tauhid'' is an album by African-American saxophonist Music/PharoahSanders released in 1967 on Impulse! Records.
Initially introduced as a protégé of Music/JohnColtrane. Sanders would play and record with Coltrane for over three years releasing his debut record, ''Pharaoh's First'', in 1964 while still apart of Coltrane's mid-60s band, notably playing on Coltrane's seminal, yet polarizing free jazz outing, ''Ascension''. Coltrane would die in 1967, however, Pharoah would continue to emulate his spiritual concepts to influence his horn playing.
''Tauhid'' would see Sanders making his own statement as saxophonist and bandleader in his own right. As the record would showcase his use of cosmic and spiritual concepts, African and Asian motifs, repetitive melodies and harsh, overblown sax shredding influenced by predecessors such as Music/OrnetteColeman and the aforementioned Coltrane. It would also see the debut of noted free jazz guitarist Music/SonnySharrock and his own horn-inspired guitar playing.
The record would be seen as highly influential within the free jazz and avant-garde jazz circles. With the record being considered a continuation of Coltrane's "spiritual jazz" concepts and a forthright example of Pharoah's own spiritually inclined saxophone playing. It would also be seen as an influence on ProtoPunk music, with bands such as Music/TheStooges and Music/MC5, counting the album as an influence on their work.

* AvantGardeMusic
* CarefulWithThatAxe: Pharoah's shrieking, overblown saxophone playing makes him a saxophonist variation of this.
