“Pharoah Sanders is easily one of my biggest influences both from a saxophone and compositional perspective. I am always drawn to his ability to play lyrically across the range of the instrument and the way he isn’t afraid to get wild and noisy. I hope I can do Pharoah justice with this.” Harry Weir

Harry Weir chose to pay tribute to Coltrane disciple and founding father of spiritual jazz, Pharoah Sanders, for our online Scottish Jazz & Blues Weekend: THE LEGENDS gig. He will be joined by an incredible band, including Graham Costello and Fergus McCreadie, to honour the great American saxophonist on Friday 23 April.
