HORACE TAPSCOTT QUINTET - THE GIANT IS AWAKENED (LP)BLACK VINYL LP. "The title of Horace Tapscott's debut release is apt, if not self referential, for indeed a giant of West Coast jazz had awakened with this, the pianist composer bandleader's 1969 album for the Flying Dutchman label.

BLACK VINYL LP.

"The title of Horace Tapscott's debut release is apt, if not self-referential, for indeed a giant of West Coast jazz had awakened with this, the pianist/composer/bandleader's 1969 album for the Flying Dutchman label. Tapscott went on to form two groups crucial to the flowering of modern jazz in the Los Angeles area, the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra (or P.A.P.A.; the name is an homage to Tapscott's predecessor and peer, Sun Ra), which eventually became part of a larger umbrella organization, Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension (UGMAA). Out of UGMAA came a host of LA-bred musicians, singers, and poets, including Arthur Blythe (who goes by Black Arthur Blythe on this recording), Stanley Crouch (who wrote the original liner notes), David Murray, Butch Morris, Wilber Morris, Jimmy Woods, Nate Morgan, and Sinclair Greenwell, Jr. (a.k.a. Guido Sinclair). And anchoring it all was Tapscott himself; as Kamasi Washington, whose vision of a large, Los Angeles community-based ensemble echoes that of P.A.P.A. and UGMAA, said in 2015: 'Horace is one of the most important figures in the foundation of music in L.A., from both a purely musically and socially conscious perspective.' Our first, neon green vinyl release of this momentous record sold out in a heartbeat; now, we're bringing it back in a black vinyl edition pressed at Gotta Groove Records, taken from high-resolution audio sources and complete with original gatefold artwork. A foundational document of West Coast modern jazz!"

I love this book ~ author provides a very intriguing process he has gone through and continues to go through to learn to understand and communicate with animals, particularly the wild ones. Very intriguing with down to earth, practical suggestions for how the reader can do the same. Really wonderful!

Educational & Interesting Bathroom Reader
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my husband for Christmas given that he loves history. I figured it’d be a hit as a bathroom reader… I was right and it’s become a fixture right next to the toilet paper! He likes that it challenges him to think. Now there’s no need to take his phone into the bathroom!

BCE? No, it is BC!
Format: Paperback
I love history; there is a lot in this book I did not know. It is definitely a challenge and a great way to learn. I took off one star (considered taking off two) because the author uses the non-Christian term of BCE. I HATE seeing that instead of what it really is BC - before Christ! I wonder if he is an atheist.
