The Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra at IUCC, Los Angeles, 1979 Horace Tapscott at the piano; Adele Sebastian on flute “Today, the new label emerging for the music from Los Angeles’ black community has become ‘spiritual jazz.’ For Horace, the Ark, the choir and the many brothers and sisters whose roots stretch back decades, their art was also community, political and revolutionary. In essence, an active opposition to all manifestations of oppression — spirituality at its most meaningful.” ~ Steven Isoardi
