  • Horace Tapscott  The Call (180g) (Limited Edition) LP 
  • Label: Pure Pleasure

. Audiophile Re-mastering on 180G Vinyl by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London 

Personnel: Horace Tapscott - Piano, Conductor / Jesse Sharps – Soprano, Tenor, Bamboo Flute, Bandleader / Linda Hill – Piano / Adele Sebastian - Vocal, Flute /

Lester Robertson – Trombone / David Bryant – Bass / Everett Brown Jr. – Drums / Herbert Callies – Alto Clarinet / James Andrews – Tenor, Bass Clarinet / Michael Session – Alto / Kafi Larry Roberts – Flute, Soprano / Archie Johnson – Trombone / Red Callendar – Tuba, Bass / William Madison – Percussion, Drums / Louis Spears – Cello, Bass / Kamonta Lawrence Polk – Bass.


Here the composer leads four extensive arrangements through his 16 piece orchestra, featuring many of the Nimbus West artists including Adele Sebastian, Jesse Sharps and Linda Hill. The music weaves the sound of afro-futuristic music through changing tempos and a relentless dynamic expressive sound that is complex and beguiling with a deep spiritual sound throughout all four tracks.

The ceremonial ‘Peyete Song no. III’ is a great swirling evocative piece from the large collective, with amazing solos from especially Horace Tapscott who seems to find a sound from the piano that is from another dimension. The arrangement airs an important message of a people and their rituals.

Horace Tapscott gives Cal Massey’s composition ‘Nakatini Suite’ a splendid futuristic big band interpretation. The composition had been earlier illuminated by both Lee Morgan on his ‘Lee-Way’ album and John Coltrane on his ‘Believer’ album titled ‘Nakatini Serenade’. Through the more expansive soundscape, the interpretation allows for some great interplay between saxophonist Jesse Sharps and drummer Everett Brown Jr. with the whole orchestra led by Horace Tapscott capturing the essence of Cal Massey’s message.

Vocalist Adele Sebastian opens up the free probing arrangement ‘Quagmire Manor at 5am’ composition with a similar delivery as with her ‘Day Dream’ from the classic ‘Desert Fairy Princess’ album before the music takes off onto the mothership adding a sense of what time and space within the manner was about amongst many great musicians and artists. Their journey and moments encapsulated within the music.

There are certain albums you hear something new every time you revisit the music and this is one of those albums. An important part of Afro-American history; the politics and art which surrounded the album. If you get a chance check out the film ‘Horace Tapscott, Musical Griot’, by filmmaker Barbara McCullough, or buy the book ‘Songs Of The Unsung’: The Musical & Social Journey of Horace Tapscott’.
