Pharoah Sanders' third Impulse! album, 1969's "Karma," is a milestone in the spiritual jazz movement and a natural progression from the musical explorations that Sanders, along with John and Alice Coltrane, had conducted over the previous five years. "The Creator Has a Master Plan", one of the two long tracks on the album, is often referred to as a spiritual jazz anthem.
Recorded February 14, 1969.
