The best of pianist Horace Tapscotts recordings for the tiny Nimbus label is this 1981 LP which features him in a sextet with trumpeter Reggie Bullen, altoist Gary Bias, tenor saxophonist Sabir Matteen, bassist Roberto Miranda and drummer Everett Brown, Jr.

The group stretches out on a couple of Tapscotts originals plus a 19-and-a-half-minute version of Linda Hills Dem Folks. Although the music could be called avant-garde, its use of rhythms and repetition keep the results from being forbidding and the performances have a momentum of their own.

A great group recording from pianist Horace Tapscott recorded in LA in the early 80s, but done with all the righteousness and spirituality of his earlier albums! Tracks are long and exploratory, but also relatively lyrical too stretching out with a style thats never too outside, and which has Horace and the group really soaring to the heavens on the best moments!
