Mind-blowing avant-garde/free jazz performed by a 14 or 15-piece orchestra led by pianist Horace Tapscott. On the massive title track, discordant chaos reigns over warped, breakneck grooves, while elsewhere, a somewhat lighter approach takes hold.
Track listing:
1. Flight 17
2. Breeze
3. Horacio
4. Clarisse
5. Maui
Peyote

ReplyDeleteThe only Tapscott I have heard are a few tracks from a 1969 quintet LP called 'The Giant Is Awakened'. This will be great to listen to. Many thanks!

Hearty thanks for the post. Horace Tapscott is an important jazz cat that I know little about, and any description of jazz--or anything else--that includes "discordant chaos" is a trigger to hit the DL button. Much thanks for everything you do.
ReplyDeleteHi great work from your side. There is a repress underway for The Call. And a launch party to accompany re-release. https://it.eventbu.com/london/horace-tapscott-album-release-launch-party-with-jessica-lauren-pan-global-project/14717083 Pax
