Live At Lobero Vol. 2 180gr LP

Horace Tapscott (p); Roberto Miranda (b); Sonship Theus (perc)

This is a reissue of a now out-of-print album from
live trio date by the legendary LA-based pianist,
composer and multi-bandleader, Horace Tapscott.
Pianist Horace Tapscott is always at his best when
he is leading a trio. Born in 1934 in Houston,
Texas, Horace came from a musical family centered
around his mother, Mary Malone Tapscott, who
worked professionally as a singer and pianist.
When Horace was nine, the family moved to Los
Angeles. As a teenager in the late 1940's, Horace
was surrounded by the music of Central Avenue: Art
Tatum, Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Dexter
Gordon, were among the many cats on the set.
Around this time, Horace also began to take music
lessons from teachers Dr. Samuel R. Browne and
Lloyd Reese, whose other students included Eric
Dolphy and Frank Morgan. Horace's musical studies
included trombone in addition to piano.
In 1952, Horace graduated from Jefferson High, got
married to Cecilia Payne and went into the Air
Force. Horace played in an Air Force Band while he
was stationed in Wyoming for his term of duty.
After mustering out, he returned to Los Angeles
where he worked around on various gigs until he
joined the Lionel Hampton Big Band as a
trombonist.
In 1959, Horace finally went with the Hampton Big
Band to New York, where his friend Eric Dolphy
introduced him to John Coltrane. A tough winter, a
lack of gigs, and too many nights on the floor of
a friend's art gallery finally sent Horace
packing for sunny Southern California, where a
life with wife and family awaited his return.
The sixties saw Horace emerge as a die-hard leader
of the Avant Garde. Horace began to gain public
notice playing with his own group, that included
alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe, bassist David
Bryant, and drummer Everett Brown II. Horace also
appeared on records for the first time.
Horace was always outspoken about racism,
politics, stereotypes, and social ethics. His
forward-minded vocal presence on and off the
microphone is as much a part of his art as his
piano playing. As a result, he was labeled a
'dissident', categorized as an 'employment risk',
and black-listed from the music industry
establishment in the early 1970's. None of this
slowed Horace down. He began gigging sporadically
at Parks and Recreation events and for churches
around Watts. This 'dark period', with his only
regular gig at his friend Doug Weston's Troubadour
on Los Angeles' 'Restaurant Row', was also a time
of intense creativity.
Around 1977, Horace reorganized the Pan-Afrikan
Peoples Arkestra with the help of several old
friends and many new faces. The Arkestra
performances involve singing, dancing, and poetry
in addition to the music. Soon after the new
group's debut, 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.
The 80's saw Horace emerge as one of jazz's
premiere solo pianists. He recorded several solo
piano albums for Nimbus.
