Hopefully this series will be completed and ready for shipping this year !  It is beginning to drag on now.

So I’m finally getting around to listening to Volume 1!  Very good music, if you like Horace’s music you won’t be disappointed - though it’s not the best HT I have heard.

This was my thought as well. Might just wait until the all arrive and do one long session at this point.

The IUCC series continues with 3 incredible concerts from Horace Tapscott and the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra.

Just landed - NOW SHIPPING

March 79 : the Ark in transition , Jesse Sharps has recently left to serve in the armed forces, and the setlist pays tribute to his songwriting genius, with both Mykowski’s 1st Fifth and the legendary “Desert Fairy Princess” written for and lead by the desert fairy princess herself, Adele Sebastian. This is where Sabir Mateen steps into the spotlight with the debut performance of his iconic and monumental VILLAGE DANCE.

LIVE at IUCC 3/25/79 cd

NS-7903c

April 1979 saw the Arkestra further settling into the new lineup after the departure of Jesse Sharps , featuring wonderful takes of both the Village Dance, and Mykowski’s 1st Fifth.. Adele Sebastian and Sabir Mateen really stepping in to lead the group to new heights. An unheard Tapscott gem , Song of Emanon, would fit comfortably in a film, and is painted with delicate detail by the master himself.. finally, Duke Ellington’s birthday is honored with an unforgettable Tapscott take of Mood Indigo.

LIVE at IUCC 4/29/79 cd

NS-7904c

September 1979 features a beautiful and heartfelt rendition of Coltrane’s EQUINOX, which flows into Tapscott’s singular Coltrane Medley. The completely unheard Sabir Mateen composition , A Call For Truth, is here finally for all to devour in its full glory.. After burning down the room with “Leland’s Song” ,Linda Hill takes the mic for the deep soulful take of Come Sunday. A full band take on Alan Hines’s “Speedy Mike” rounds out the proceedings of another classic Sunday afternoon.

Mine just shipped from Dusty Groove!!

[clifford_thornton]

ordered these from Nimbus-West. Dusty usually ships out before the label does for some reason.

[jazzbo]

I still haven't digested the last shipment! But I'll welcome the next installments.

[clifford_thornton]

I probably haven't fully digested -- i.e., completely grasped on all levels -- most of my collection!

yep, definitely three sets left to go

[Hoppy T. Frog]

Got it too. I only have 7, I think I'm missing the first in the series? 

[clifford_thornton]

Mine have been dispatched. Looking forward to diving in.

There are 11 sets in the series (mostly doubles with some singles) with 8 having been released so far & three more left to be issued/released (unsure of titles/dates as not listed yet AFAIK)

[clifford_thornton]

got mine yesterday and working through 'em. I'd say we are getting quite the overview of what these PAPA concerts were like overall. Some peaks, some not-so-peaks, but it's all interesting.
