1980 studio album by Pharoah Sanders
Journey to the One is a double album led by saxophonist Pharoah Sanders , recorded in 1979 and released on the Theresa label.[1]
Reception [ edit ]
In his review for AllMusic , Scott Yanow commented: "As usual, Sanders shifts between spiritual peace and violent outbursts in his tenor solos".[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the music "strong, vibrant jazz," and wrote: "What's quickly apparent is that the gentler, more linear and melodic Sanders is not fundamentally different from the high-octane screamer, just differently modulated."[3]
Writing for Jazzwise , Kevin Le Gendre stated: "Backed by a formidable band, Sanders moves seamlessly from tenderness to aggression all the while creating a compelling narrative over the two discs."[5]
Chris May of All About Jazz included Journey to the One in his list of "Alternative Top Ten Albums," calling it "the album that introduced Sanders to a new generation of dancefloor-loving jazz neophytes."[7]
A writer for Billboard praised the album's "superb playing," and noted: "there is something here that transcends labels."[8]
