"Save Our Children" is a captivating jazz album by the legendary Pharoah Sanders, released in 1999 under Universal Music Division Decca Records France. This album is a testament to Sanders' versatility, offering a blend of free jazz, jazz, and hard bop that showcases his contemplative side, rather than the cataclysmic soloing he is often known for.
The album spans a generous 61 minutes, featuring six tracks that range from instrumental pieces to love-themed compositions. "Save Our Children" kicks off with its titular track, followed by the instrumental "Midnight In Berkeley Square." The album also includes "My Jewels Of Love," another instrumental titled "Kazuko," and concludes with "The Ancient Sounds" and "Far-Off Sand."
The album was released on January 1, 1999, and is a notable work in Sanders' discography, following his previous collaborations and leading into his 2000 release, "Spirits," a live album with Hamid Drake and Adam Rudolph. "Save Our Children" is a great addition to any jazz enthusiast's collection, offering a unique perspective on Sanders' musical prowess.
