Excellent. I saw Pharoah at a little jazz club in Santa Cruz, where big names would come down on Mondays after playing weekends in San Francisco or Oakland.
The shows were usually pretty lackluster there, and Sanders was bored and lazy the whole time, but his (younger, hungrier) rhythm section tore it up.
Listening to the Veils --
