Description
Produced by Ed Michel and recorded in 1973 across two live performances and a studio session, Elevation features a dynamic ensemble including Joe Bonner on piano, Calvin Hill on bass, and Michael Carvin on drums.
The albums open forms, modal grooves, and spiritual themes underscore Sanderss ongoing search for transcendence and cultural affirmation through sound. With chant-like melodies, circular motifs, and immersive rhythmic textures, pieces like The Gathering and the title track reflect a more meditative and exploratory side of Sanderss aesthetic.
Elevation comes towards the end of Sanders tenure on Impulse! a cohesive and spiritually resonant statement that bridges the raw fire of earlier albums with a deeper, more spacious sound.
