Pharoah Sanders and singer Leon Thomas had a reunion on this Theresa recording on two of the numbers (most notably Sun Song) and, although the magic of The Creator Has a Master Plan is not recaptured, the music is still enjoyable. The other four numbers are instrumentals featuring Sanders' tenor with keyboardist William Henderson, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Idris Muhammad. Sanders does a close impression of late-'50s John Coltrane on Body and Soul and Too Young to Go Steady and shows a bit more heat on the other two numbers. But fans of his most passionate dates are advised to get a sampling of the earlier Impulse recordings instead.
