After moving to New York in 1962, often homeless, he adopted the name Pharoah, and by 1965 he had joined John Coltrane's band, playing on \u003cem\u003eAscension\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMeditations\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis tenor saxophone overblew, split into multiphonics and poured out sheets of sound, while ideas like karma and tawhid guided records such as \u003cem\u003eTauhid\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKarma\u003c\/em\u003e, whose 30-minute 'The Creator Has a Master Plan' rides Leon Thomas's yodelling and Lonnie Liston Smith's piano. Later he explored African rhythms on \u003cem\u003eBlack Unity\u003c\/em\u003e, then R\u0026amp;B, modal jazz and hard bop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePromises\u003c\/em\u003e, made with Floating Points and the London Symphony Orchestra and released in 2021, was his first major new album in nearly two decades.
