I'm currently listening to Love In Us All. For John has a trumpet player who isn't credited from what I can see. Does anyone know who it was?

I believe it is Hannibal Marvin Peterson, but cannot verify.

Thanks. It sounds like Peterson. He was the first name to pop into my head too.

Hannibal Marvin Peterson was very popular in my youth. He played at "Jazz by Freddie", the defunct famous Viennese jazz club. 
And at some point, his "Children of Sanchez" sold very well. I don´t have the album, but they spinned it often in clubs when there was no live music on schedule...

My first approach to Pharoah Sanders was in the 70´s his Impulse album "Live at the East". I wanted to have Mr Sanders sign it for me and tell him that it was my entrance into his great music, but then....... I was too shy. He didn´t look like someone who meet backstage and who might say "gee, that´s nice. What´s your name..... and sign it for me"....

You are probably right on that one. BBC Radio 4 has a ‘Profile’ programme about him currently. One of the speakers tried to interview Sanders and didn’t get much - although he was charming apparently. A man of few words !

Every time I’ve seen him in clubs he didn’t hang around front stage.

Really enjoying this one today:

This thread has some good reading from 15 years ago.

Dug that one out recently after many years and it is pretty fun.
