Wendell Harrison – A Tribute To Pharoah Sanders: Live At The Concert Of Colors, Detroit 2025 (RSD 2026) (New Vinyl)

April 18 street date. 2026 RECORD STORE DAY release. Recorded live at the Detroit Institute of Arts on July 20, 2025, “A Tribute To Pharoah Sanders” captures Detroit reed master Wendell Harrison and his ensemble TRIBE in a transcendent performance honoring Harrison’s longtime friend and fellow jazz icon. The concert part of Detroit’s Concert of Colors festival (later broadcast on PBS) finds Harrison channeling Sanders’ spirit through deep tenor cries, hypnotic grooves, and Afro-spiritual improvisation.
