Description
180g audiophile double vinyl reissue of this superb rare, deep and spiritual jazz opus album, recorded at the Immanuel United Church of Christ, Los Angeles, in 1979, with re-mastering by Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering.
The music of Horace Tapscott and The Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra is part Sun Ra Arkestra, part John Coltrane, part Art Ensemble of Chicago. This ground-breaking and monumental album explores the multi-faceted deep and spiritual jazz of Tapscott - Afro-centric rhythms, hypnotic bass lines, Tapscott's stabbing modal piano playing and stunning flute and horn arrangements. "The Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra - Live at I.U.C.C." is a true high point in the cannon of great independent underground jazz music recorded during this era.
