  Thanks all for the input. Nice to know there are others out there familiar with his work, but I note that references to Mr. Tapscott are in the past tense. Does that mean he is no longer with us?

      Thank you for the information, sad though it is. This will just provide more incentive to get more of his recordings.

        At stores in the Bay Area, it is quite easy to find Tapscott LP reissues. For example, there is a series titled Horace Tapscott Sessions Volumes 1 to x. At Amoeba, these new LPs are only $7 each! What a great way to discover the genius of Tapscott.

  I find it to be more compelling than "Thoughts of Dar Es Salaam".

  Thanks, shrugs, for recommending "The Dark Tree Vol 1 and 2". I've been looking at that for a while...

  Tapscott was a giant who never got a lot of press since he stayed in Cali all his life.
  I HIGHLY recommend Aiee! The Phantom. It is much better than Thoughts Of. The horns add textures that are beautiful.
  The one to get is The Dark Tree Vol 1 and 2 on hatOlogy. Easiest place to get this is from
