Happy birthday to the legendary Pharoah Sanders—whose saxophone solos are so cosmic, NASA should name a galaxy after him! From pioneering free jazz alongside John Coltrane to winning Grammy gold decades later, your music continues to defy gravity and logic. Rumor has it Amiri Baraka named you Pharaoh because even ancient kings couldn't match those majestic riffs.Whether you're blowing minds with "The Creator Has a Master Plan" or reminding us all that age is just another improvisation on life's melody line, you've proven timelessness isn't measured in years—but in epic tenor solos. Keep swinging among the stars!
