A true medicine man, restorative music medicine. Pharaoh Sanders was/is creative to make metal, keys, screws and all of the saxophone to be human. His vapors will always be felt. Rest In Plenty!

Pharoah died on September 24, 2022, one day after John Coltrane´s birthday. He passed away peacefully at UCLA Hospital surrounded by his loving family. I was there. We are all still mourning his passing with broken hearts. Maria Bryant Sister-In-Law to Pharoah Sanders

I was awakened to Pharoah Sanders with his album The Creator Has A Master Plan. Since the first day I heard that album, I saw him live at every venue he appeared at in the Los Angeles Area. I have all of his vinyls, one of which he signed at the Maiden Voyage. He signed it with a felt pen that stretched across the whole album cover. I spoke a little with him that night.

What an amazing artist. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult time.

My Condolences.

Rest in Peace, Rest in Power a wonderful man and loving father

Truly one of a kind, extremely talented musician. He will be missed. Prayers for the Sanders family.
