Pharoah Sanders - Love in us All

PHAROAH SANDERS - LOVE IN US ALL

Pharoah Sanders’ Love in Us All was recorded in 1972 but released on the Impulse! Label in 1974. It consists of two extended compositions, “Love Is Everywhere” (which Sanders also recorded that year in a different version for his album Wisdom Through Music) and an homage to John Coltrane, titled “To John.” Both serve as an aural representation of the way Sanders' music polarized the jazz world at the time. Ted Davis of Paste Magazine included “Love Is Everywhere" in his list of "The 10 Best Pharoah Sanders Songs," stating that it "captures his sound at its most wonderfully cosmic, esoteric and enlightening—a perfect distillation of all the things that made him such a singular and unforgettable artist." According to  AllMusic writer Nathan Bush, “Coltrane himself never created a work as emotionally direct as ‘Love Is Everywhere’."
