Horace Tapscott's Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra
(P.A.P.A.) was one of the most transformative,
forward-thinking and straight-up heavy big bands
to have played jazz in the 1960s and 1970s. If
P.A.P.A. doesn't have the interstellar rep of that
other famous Arkestra, and if the name Tapscott
doesn't ring bells like Monk or Tyner, there's a
reason why: in an industry dominated by record
labels, a band that doesn't record doesn't count.
And the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra didn't record
for nearly twenty years. But recording success
was never their concern -- they weren't about
that. First formed as the Underground Musicians
Association in the early 1960s, Tapscott always
wanted his group to be a community project.
From their base in Watts, UGMA got down at the
grassroots. The group was renamed the Pan-Afrikan
Peoples Arkestra in 1971, and soon after they
established a monthly residency at the Immanuel
United Church of Christ which ran for over a
decade, while still playing all over LA and
beyond. But they never released a note of music.
It was the intervention of fan Tom Albach that
finally got them on wax. Determined that their
work should be documented, Albach founded Nimbus
Records specifically to release the music of
Tapscott, the Arkestra, and the individuals that
comprised it. The first recording sessions in
early 1978 yielded enough material for two albums,
and the first release was 'Flight 17'. The album
commences with the magnificent title track. It is
effectively in three parts. It begins with
unaccompanied pianos. Then the ensemble embark on
a dense, circular and mechanical movement, a
platform for horns and pianos to swoop and dive.
We return to Earth with a beautiful solitary
flute. The second track, the piano-centric,
'Breeze' is different to 'Flight 17' in intensity
and also brevity but it is quietly as daring as
the title track. It concludes with a moving lush
wash from the full Arkestra, which sound almost
like strings only more substantial. These first
two tracks take full advantage of the texture of
the unusual mix of the various instruments. Next
though, it?s a significant change with 'Horacio',
which is an exuberant Latin infused jingle. It?s
unlike anything else on the album. I like to think
it was named after the conductor?s Cuban
alter-ego!

'Clarisse' gracefully switches between slow blues
and bop and is bookended with a grand vaguely East
Asian theme. The busy bass line introduces
'Maui'. As with the previous track, it moves
between a number of contrasting melody lines and
rhythms but there?s still space for a tuneful sax
solo.
This is a must-have album. I think the first two
tracks on their own make this release essential.
