Pharoah Sanders & John Hicks – After the Rain (Live in Frankfurt, 1986 | Coltrane Tribute)

 


From Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack.

Witness a hauntingly beautiful live performance of John Coltrane’s After the Rain, interpreted with soul-stirring depth by saxophone mystic Pharoah Sanders and pianist John Hicks in Frankfurt, 1986. Originally composed by Coltrane in 1963, After the Rain is a meditation on stillness, healing, and the spiritual hush that follows life’s storms. In this rare live duo performance, Sanders channels both reverence and raw emotion, while Hicks lays down a harmonic bed of tenderness and space. This is not just a tribute. It’s a communion—with Trane, with spirit, with silence. 🎷 Tenor Sax: Pharoah Sanders 🎹 Piano: John Hicks 📍 Recorded live in Frankfurt, Germany – 1986

Songs like "I've Been Lonely Too Long", "Mustang Sally" (Sir Mack Rice's song famously recorded by Wilson Pickett), and "People Got to Be Free" all had t...
