For 1971’s Black Unity, Pharaoh Sanders added groove to the foundation of spiritual and free jazz he had explored on his previous Impulse! albums. The result is a piercing and emotive 37-minute title track exploration of African, Latin, aborigine and Native American sounds, driven by rhythm. Verve By Request Series features transfers from the analog tapes remastered on 180-gram vinyl.
