...using an assortment of percussion instruments, horns, bells and even incantations. In The Creator Has a Master Plan, sensuous, mesmerizing sounds roll over repeated phrases, curling peaceably upward like incense. In Colors, Pharoah's tenor saxophone begins a tempest of cries and emphatic screeches that hint at lurking discord in the universe.
