“We are devastated to share that Pharoah Sanders has passed away,” read a statement from Sanders’ label Luaka Bop. “He died peacefully surrounded by loving family and friends in Los Angeles earlier this morning.

Always and forever the most beautiful human being, may he rest in peace.”Born Farrell Sanders in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1940, Sanders got his start with the saxophone by renting an old one from his high school.
