Pharoah Sanders and singer Leon Thomas had a reunion on this Theresa recording on two of the numbers (most notably &Sun Song&) and, although the magic of &The Creator Has a Master Plan& is not recaptured, the music is still enjoyable. The other four numbers are instrumentals featuring Sanders' tenor with keyboardist William Henderson, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders does a close impression of late-'50s John Coltrane on &Body and Soul& and &Too Young to Go Steady& and shows a bit more heat on the other two numbers. But fans of his most passionate dates are advised to get a sampling of the earlier Impulse recordings instead.
