I am sitting here listening to Black Unity (1972)... anyone else?
By chance, just last week I was writing about an old university friend of mine who attended the 2004 Royal Festival Hall quintet concert with me - there's a little bit about this in the last footnote on the linked post. The last time I was in touch with this friend, back in January this year, he tipped me off about a short radio programme he had produced for the BBC, part of a series he had been working on: the edition in question was a profile of Pharoah Sanders...

Thanks for posting, Cent. Sanders was hugely meaningful to me as I was finding the music.
