Pharaoh Sanders was a tenor saxophone player best known for his work with John Coltrane in the 60's where the ensembles they played in eschewed conventional song structures for music that was filled with raw unbridled creativity and lyricism. After the death of Trane, Pharaoh began to focus on his solo work with music that was more introspective and conceptual, yet still channeling the experimentation and fire that he brought to those records in the 60's. "Wisdom Through Music" is a monumental jazz record that brings together many influences from disparate parts of the globe. From West African percussion, to avant garde jazz, shamanic chanting, and Eastern modal structures, this was for Pharaoh an album where he really attempted to meld his spiritual interests with his sonic talent. Music is a healing spiritual force and that is on full display on this record. This design takes that inspiration and has the outline of a face with two saxophones on the sides and the text "Wisdom Through Music" in the middle.
