He is a titan with few equivalents in histories of free and spiritual jazz. The creator of some of the most important and singular records in these fields, Sanders, who was once described by Ornette Coleman as “probably the best tenor player in the world”, is equally noted for his work with artists like John Coltrane, as a member of his groundbreaking final quintet, Alice Coltrane, Leon Thomas, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Sun Ra, often rendering a remarkable influence over the results.

Pharoah Sanders was among the most important creative voices of the 20th Century. From his emergence on the New York scene during the early 1960s until his passing, he remained one of the driving forces in jazz. Known for his great breaking style of playing that helped lay the groundwork for spiritual jazz, as well as a particular movement of free jazz - infusing lyrism and melody with overblown, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques - during the same period that he was working with John Coltrane, and then Alice Coltrane, Sanders embarked upon his own career as a band leader, producing a suite of albums across the 1960s and '70s for ESP, Impulse!, Strata-East, and others that remain some of the most celebrated, enduring, and sought-after in the canon of jazz. They are a marvel beyond words and stand entirely on their own. From their first sounding, there is no mistaking them for anything but Pharoah’s music.

“Love in Us All” was recorded in 1972 but released on the Impulse! label no earlier than 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 AllMusicGuide writer Nathan Bush, “Coltrane himself never created a work as emotionally direct as “Love Is Everywhere”.
