1969: "The Creator Has a Master Plan" - thirty-two minutes of ecstatic build and release that turned spiritual jazz into a mass movement. Pharoah Sanders alternates between benediction and volcanic overblowing, Leon Thomas' yodel becomes one of the era's defining sounds, and the groove underneath rolls with a generosity that welcomed listeners far beyond the avant-garde faithful. Few records in any genre manage to be this radical and this loved at the same time. The Coltrane lineage flowing forward into something communal, danceable, devotional - the blueprint for half a century of spiritual jazz revivals, and still the summit. US Impulse! pressing of an eternal record.
