Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of jazz funk with The Pharaohs’ In The Basement. Originally released by Luv N’ Haight, this limited edition LP features a collection of mostly unreleased tracks recorded live in 1972. The album showcases the evolution of the band, originally known for their 1971 release, Awakening, and expanded from an 11-piece ensemble to include even more talented musicians.
The live performances in this collection offer a unique fusion of sounds. You’ll find elements reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire, but with a more avant-garde twist likened to Sun Ra’s jamming alongside the P-Funk All Stars. Dive into the mesmerizing 11-minute rendition of the Stylistics’ “People Make the World Go Round,” where otherworldly horns and psychedelic guitars combine over a relentless African-inspired groove. The hypnotic “Drum Suite” showcases a perfect blend of organic polyrhythms and captivating chants, promising an auditory experience like no other.
This LP is strictly limited to just 1,000 copies in the U.S., making it a sought-after piece for collectors. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of musical history.
