DESCRIPTION

  • 2xLP pressed on 180-Gram Black Vinyl
  • Housed in a Gatefold Sleeve
  • Recorded in LA in the early '80s
  • Features Tapscott in a sextet

The best of pianist Horace Tapscott's recordings for the tiny Nimbus label is this 1981 LP, which features him in a sextet with trumpeter Reggie Bullen, altoist Gary Bias, tenor saxophonist Sabir Matteen, bassist Roberto Miranda, and drummer Everett Brown, Jr.

The group stretches out on a couple of Tapscott's originals plus a 19-and-a-half-minute version of Linda Hill's "Dem Folks." Although the music could be called avant-garde, its use of rhythms and repetition keeps the results from being forbidding, and the performances have a momentum of their own.

A great group recording from pianist Horace Tapscott - recorded in LA in the early 80s, but done with all the righteousness and spirituality of his earlier albums! Tracks are long and exploratory, but also relatively lyrical too - stretching out with a style that's never too "outside", and which has Horace and the group really soaring to the heavens on the best moments!
