This review is from: Songs of the Unsung : The Musical and Social Journey of Horace Tapscott (Hardcover)
Horace Tapscott is revealed in this book to be a real leader, who chose music as his means of community organization. Under impossible circumstances, he organized a community center that produced music for the LA community and gave musicians a base where they could learn, experiment, and socialize. This he managed to maintain for decades - dedicating his life and energy to make it work. Inspiring.

This review is from: Songs of the Unsung : The Musical and Social Journey of Horace Tapscott (Hardcover)
SONGS OF THE UNSUNG: THE MUSICAL & SOCIAL JOURNEY OF HORACE TAPSCOTT is an engaging read. Not only is the book the autobiography of Los Angeles pianist and bandleader Horace Tapscott, it is an informative history of West Coast jazz and Los Angeles black arts.
Tapscott worked with writer Steve Isoardi for several years through the 1990s. They first connected for the Isoardi-led book CENTRAL AVENUE SOUNDS. Read both of these books as well as THE DARK TREE for the hidden hitory of West Coast community arts. Horace Tapscott was a major musical pioneer for over 40 years, read details of his amazing story here. |
