Franklin Kiermyer's stellar collaboration with Pharoah Sanders gets recirculated

To mark the 25th anniversary of Solomon's Daughter, Dot Time is reissuing the album with three unreleased tracks. 

Originally released in 1994 to rave reviews, Solomon’s Daughter (due February 8th) finds hard-hitting drummer Franklin Kiermyer and legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders coming together to fuse their distinct techniques in the course of tracks that allow them to showcase their spirituality and virtuosity on their respective trademark instruments. Mr. Sanders hearkens back to his powerful time with John Coltrane especially on the songs “If I Die Before I Wake” and “Three Jewels” (listen below). This release continued the legacy of the last few years of John Coltrane’s classic quartet without copying the music, echoing Love Supreme, Sun Ship & First Meditations.  The 25th Anniversary reissue has been re-mastered by Dot Time Legends producer Jerry Roche and includes three never before released tracks from the original sessions filled with power and passion. Check the Dot Time Records site for more info.
