The mix takes the idea of my previous show, the Counterculture, and also the story of Alice in Wonderland. The chasing Rabbits mix is being based on Grace Slick song White Rabbit. This is a particular take on Lewis Carroll’s story. My idea for the songs of this mix is to create a sequence of music like falling into a musical well. Hope you enjoy the trip.

For some time I have been thinking about doing a series of mixes based upon a single subject, such as a singer, band, venue, record label or genre of music.

The first mix in the 'Thinkin About' series of mixes is Pharoah Sanders, who made me look at the music I love from a different perspective and took me with him on his musical journey.

Pharoah Sanders is an American jazz saxophonist. first coming to peoples attention as A member of John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s, 

Pharoah is known for his over-blowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone and his use of "sheets of sound".

Pharoah has released over 30 albums and has collaborated extensively with Leon Thomas and Alice Coltrane, among others. Saxophonist Ornette Coleman described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world".

Pharaoh's music has been labelled "spiritual jazz" due to his inspiration in religious concepts such as Karma and Tawhid, and his rich, meditative aesthetic. This style is seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders is considered a disciple of Coltrane.

At the age of 81, Pharoah still performs live and I recommend that if you get the opportunity to see Pharoah live, after the pandemic dies down, go and you will be in for a beautiful treat.
