It’s a collaboration that few of us ever would have thought to put together prior to now, but now that it’s here, one that feels as if it was destined to happen. But give yourself those 46 minutes to do so, because it’s a beautiful and gracefully performed piece of music that finds Sanders delivering an understated yet breathtakingly beautiful lead over a recurring keyboard motif and the orchestra’s subtle rise beneath.
Promises is a nine-part suite meant to be heard in sequence-you can listen to individual tracks though it’s a little like listening to Music for 18 Musicians as individual tracks, it might feel as if it’s missing the overall picture. Pharoah Sanders has made music that’s intense and dissonant and he’s made music that’s melodic and accessible, but nothing ever so gentle and spacious as this inspired collaboration with British producer Floating Points and the London Symphony Orchestra.
