Biography
The Pharaohs, an American soul/jazz/funk group, were formed in 1962 out of a student band, The Jazzmen, at Crane Junior College in Chicago, Illinois. The early lineup included Louis Satterfield on trombone, Charles Handy on trumpet, Don Myrick on alto saxophone, Fred Humphrey on piano, Ernest McCarthy on bass guitar, and Maurice White on drums. The group later merged with the Artistic Heritage Ensemble at the Affro Arts Theater on Chicagoâs South Side to form The Pharaohs. Their popular releases include The Awakening and In The Basement, among others. The Pharaohs marked their 30th anniversary with a performance at the Kansas City Blues-Jazz Festival in 1998, which was also released on CD.
