Elevation is a live album by American saxophonist and composer Pharoah Sanders (containing one track recorded in the studio), released in 1973 on the Impulse! label.[1]

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "This may not rate as highly as some of Sanders' other recordings for the label like Thembi or Karma, but there is plenty here for fans, and it is well worth the investigation and the purchase."[2]

Brian P. Lonergan of All About Jazz compared the album to Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda, on which Sanders appeared, noting that it "shares much of the ambiance and sonic palette" of that recording, and stated that it "ventures into some pretty bizarre and wild territory."[3]

A writer for Jazz Impressions singled out "Greeting to Saud" for praise, calling it "a rich soundscape that is both peaceful and meditative," and "a tranquil counterpoint" to the opening track.[4]
