Horace Tapscott, Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra

Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra in concert at the Immanuel United Church of Christ - September 30, 1979. This is the seventh concert that Tom Albach recorded at Immanuel United Church of Christ.  A wild and beautiful performance from beginning to end. Opening with an angelic take of Coltrane’s ‘Equinox’ which turns into a Coltrane medley, this recording is obviously a special one from the start… the existence of an unheard Sabir Mateen composition from 1979 (‘A Call for Truth’) is worth the price of admission alone, but there’s also the blazing ‘Speedy Mike’, or the debut of Linda Hill’s ‘Leland’s Song’, the heartbreaking comedown of Ellington’s ‘Come Sunday’, a total range of emotion and artistry- this is a classic autumn afternoon with the world’s greatest community Arkestra.
