In many of the orchestras listed above Sannella was working with the same basic core of fellow musicians, among these not least trumpet player Mike Mosiello, from whom Sannella seems to have been virtually inseparable during these years, and of whom he still spoke very highly in an interview shortly before his death.
I många av ovanstående orkestrar arbetade Sannella tillsammans med samma kärna av medmusiker, däribland icke minst trumpetaren Mike Mosiello, från vilken Sannella under dessa år synes ha varit närmast oskiljaktig och vilken han i en intervju kort före sin död ännu talade med stor beundran om.
