The Tapscott Sessions Vol. 1 - 7 (7 LP Set)

HORACE TAPSCOTT The Tapscott Sessions Vol. 1 - 7 (Amazing solo piano from the master himself, Horace Tapscott… Recorded 1982-1985 during 2am sessions in an empty Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA. … haunting, beautiful, totally essential. This is a 7-LP set - the last ever brand new old stock from Nimbus West and each record remains factory sealed since new - only 500 of these sets in total were pressed. Tapscott has always had a strikingly original sound that, despite occasional hints at other pianists, is quite distinctive, falling between advanced hard bop and the avant-garde. Recommended)

Tracklisting & More Information

Sealed original copies of the Horace Tapscott's 'The Tapscott Sessions' solo piano series, released on Nimbus West Records ýfrom 1982 to 1984. Horace Tapscott has been one of the top "unknown" jazz pianists in the Los Angeles area since the 1960s, recording far too few sessions which has led to him being continually overlooked by jazz fans from outside L.A. During 1982-84 he recorded seven solo piano albums for the tiny Nimbus label, playing unaccompanied solos, his improvisations consist of deeply emotional exploration of his music.
