In the post-apocalyptic world of Black American Music: post-John Coltrane and
Albert Ayler that is, the larger-than-life figure of Pharoah Sanders held
sway. To this world came Frank Lowe. His primordial growl would light up studio
and stage as he blazed through charts that seemed made up on the spur of the
moment. To a certain extent this they were. After all this was improvised music
at its fiercest, most raw and ingenious. Although Mr. Lowe’s voice was of a
singular kind, in it could be heard the punch and other-worldly probing of John
Coltrane and the visceral spirituality of Albert Ayler. And just as Pharoah
Sanders seemed to advance the unfettered roaming of the itinerant musician, so
also did Frank Lowe. In his hands the tenor saxophone was imbued with a wild
roaring—almost threatening—tone that was at once elementally virile as well as
inexorably vulnerable. Mr. Lowe used this act of playing to carve the air with
notes that were four dimensional—seeming to be conceived in ether and rendered
in the quintessential world as well as in the one in which he existed; body and
soul. He played with dynamics that were sophisticated. At times this was almost
hidden from plain sight, tossed like glittering gem-like notes into a rarefied
realm that he created for himself.
