This powerful and spiritual album by Pharoah Sanders is deeply rooted in the tradition of spiritual jazz—a genre he helped shape alongside John Coltrane. The album’s title, in Arabic, translates as “Deaf Dumb Blind,” a reference to verse 18 of Surah Al-Baqara in the Quran—a symbolic critique of those who remain closed to spiritual truth.

It stands as a major work of spiritual jazz, a genre where music becomes prayer, trance, and inner quest. It is also one of the most iconic recordings of the post-Coltrane era.
