Pharoah Sanders album for the India Navigation label was known alternately as Pharoah or Harvest Time, sees his vision of the jazz group -- a sonic melange approximating nirvana -- beginning to drift into watery new age muzak. Obviously, the playing is excellent (especially Steve Neil on bass), but the 20-minute title track goes nowhere in its search for bluesy riffs, Sanders' vocal on &Love Will Find a Way& sounds quite out of place, and &Memories of Edith Johnson& is five minutes of a boringly repetitive organ line. Clearly, Pharoah Sanders was losing his way a full ten years after the death of John Coltrane.
