Search - Phil Ranelin :: Inspiration

Jazz legend Phil Ranelin surfaces with another beautifully crafted album "Inspiration" on San Francisco based Wide Hive Records. Ranelin reunited with jazz compatriot Wendall Harrison for the first time in 20 years to make this album! Saxophone sage Pharoah Sanders joins them for an epic solo dedicated to their former friend and mentor John Coltrane. The music is indicative of Ranelin's naturally soulful compositions, with strong rhythmic undercurrents and eerily beautiful horn arrangements. Infused with Ranelin's creative wisdom, the highly anticipaed album offers 10 original compositions, inlcuding tracks honoring Freddie Hubbard, J.J. Johnson, Horace Tapscott, John Coltrane, and Eric Dolphy.
