On Novembe 6, Cal State University Dominguez Hills is hosting the Third
Annual Jazz Tribute Horace Tapscott performed by the Pan Afrikan
Arkestra.
Raised in central Los Angeles during the 1940’s, Horace was
at the center of black Los Angeles cultural life, playing with
musicians like Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, John Carter and Eric
Dolphy, as well as performing with Gerald Wilson's Los Angeles-based
big band. Perhaps Horace’s greatest influence was Dr. Samuel Browne, a
famous music teacher at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles, who
admonished that "he would teach me as long as I would agree to pass it
along." Horace took this advice and set about creating an
infrastructure for musical creativity in Watts in the form of the Pan
Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, passing on the knowledge to youth tuition
free.
Horace came to the attention of producer Tom Albach who contracted
Horace to record a number of albums for Nimbus Records. Albach also
helped introduce Horace to an international audience by arranging
several European tours. In his later years, it should be noted that he
was very active in the Leimert Park area in Central L.A., still
teaching and performing.
Horace passed on in 1999, but his legacy still endures. The Pan African
Arkestra performed at last years Ash Grove 50th Anniversary
concert-featuring vocalist Dwight Trible, moody progressive avant-garde
jazz was performed at it finest that evening. This event at CSUDH will
no doubt amaze the audience with this tasty tribute to a man who gave
much to hearts and minds as well as ears.
The concert is free at Cal State University Dominguez Hills, Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7pm, in
La Corte Hall A103. CSUHD is at Avalon and Victoria Avenue in Carson.
