Liner Note Author: Nat Hentoff. Recording information: Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (11/15/1966). Photographer: Charles Stewart . Judging from his work on the later Coltrane LPs, one might not have predicted that Pharoah Sanders would produce such an accessible free jazz album his very first time out on Impulse Records. (His post-Ayler squawking and squealing detracted from the magnificence of albums like LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD AGAIN and MEDITATIONS.) Happily, Pharoah seems to have conceived the beautifully realized TAUHID as a less frenetic meditation of his own. World music grounded him in a way it didn't even Coltrane, who typically used Indian and African motifs as spurs to his awesome late-stage improvisations. Actually, Pharoah and company (pianst Dave Burrell, who was never better, guitarist Sonny Sharrock, and the brilliant bassist Henry Grimes) do get pretty wild on the last track but they reign it in at several points for a grand melodic statement that makes full use of Sanders ultra-rich timbre.
