Like "Kendang', 'Dawning' spectacularly showcases the jazy, impassioned saxophone of Pharoah Sanders, veteran of the 60s New Thing, indeed one of the last active links with that incendiary era. Persuading Sanders to do so was a coup in itself. "He was in London and we went to meet him - we thought he wasn't into it, but it turned out that we were being stalled by one his agents," explains Alex. 'He'd actually been up for it; he'd waited in his hotel for us. So we met up with him in New York and recorded the two tracks over three hours. He's a legend on one hand, but as far as he's concerned himself, he's a gigging musician. He's just stuck with his music and got better at it, it's a really inspiring thing.'

About Chxllseekers: Pharoah solo in this recording is taken from the session Pharoah made for Arthur Baker around 2000 (credits list thanks to Baker for the Pharo Sanders part)

Merv de Peyer's comment on UT: Part of the track was recorded at Mayfair studios in Primrose Hill London UK. around 2001-ish, Pharaoh Sanders (genius) and Merv de Peyer played a session for Arthur Baker and Merv used some of it (with Arthur's blessing) to create the featured sax part on his original track. The music and video was produced for Merv's 5.1 surround sound label ChxllSeeker. The dance/movement was created especially for it by the featured woman. It was filmed using a Sony camcorder. the animation etc. was done by Merv using Bryce 3D, edited and textured using Final Cut Pro plus other software. It was released on DVD in 2002.. Thanx again.. The title Chxllseekers is on the original DVD cover - later on, on the web (YouTube and Chxllseeker website), the track had another name: Jaguar's Lover. Released as the 5.1 surround sound DVD - CHXLLSEEKER - TAPPING INTO THE ORGONE (CHXLLSEEKER EDU 0010)

Spirituality has been realised as: Arthur Baker (ft. Pharoah Sanders, Fridge and Xpress 2) - Spirituality on White and has been downloadable on the web in 2009

Love, with the words of Merv de Peyer, is a " Song I programmed, played on and mixed for Arthur baker" (around 2016) Still to find on the web. Hopefully more recordings from this session will surface someday.
