Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 166 fans who also own “Sankofa”
Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music.

In These Times
by Makaya McCraven
supported by 125 fans who also own “Sankofa”
Unlike any other. Its feel is both reflective and down to earth, and the compositions are easily differentiated despite their relative shortness. Not only a pleasure to listen to, this album is rhythmically complex, but not in a maddening, hard to process way. Also, very clever album title.
