About this pressing

Released in 2021 on Luaka Bop, Promises is a stunning collaboration between electronic composer Floating Points (Sam Shepherd), legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, and The London Symphony Orchestra.

Structured as a single continuous suite in nine movements, the album blends lush orchestration, gentle electronics, and Sanders’s deeply soulful tenor saxophone into a meditative, transcendent experience. The recurring piano motif ties the work together, while Sanders’s expressive playing and the orchestra’s sweeping textures elevate the piece into something timeless.

Critically acclaimed upon release, Promises was hailed as one of the finest albums of the decade, proving the enduring power of collaboration across generations and genres.

A deeply moving and genre-defying masterpiece, Promises is essential listening for fans of jazz, classical, and contemporary experimental music.
