Since the passing of the great pianist/composer/bandleader Horace Tapscott, the Nimbus West label has continued to document the underground L.A. jazz scene that Mr. Tapscott was once at the center of. A number of great musicians who once collaborated with Tapscott, like Jesse Sharps & Nate Morgan, have recorded albums as leaders on Nimbus West. The short liner notes state that “trying to play serious music in an area as shallow & fad-driven as Los Angeles, were too much for this band to deal with…” so they didn’t last too long. No doubt. This LP is proof that this collective’s music was strong, spirited, original and had a great deal to offer. I can’t say that I’ve heard of any of the rhythm section players but all six members of the collective are excellent musicians nonetheless. Nate Morgan’s “Retribution, Reparation” is first and it has one of those McCoy Tyner-like 70’s ensemble vibes with spirited piano and Trane-ish tenor sax sailing on top. The entire sextet is in great form with impressive solos from trumpeter Danny Cortez, vibist Rickey Kelly and pianist Nate Morgan. How musicians as incredible as this escaped notice, I will never understand. The sextet is ultra-tight and swings furiously throughout. Bassist John Ector’s “Big Spliff” has a most memorable theme that had me smiling all the way through. The long & inspired soprano solo by Jesse Sharps and that great piano interplay & solo makes this piece even more special. The only cover on this LP is Monk’s “Well You Needn’t” and it too is done exuberantly. There are over 100 minutes of outstanding music on this wonderful release. Another buried treasure to add to your collection of great gifts from the gods. –Bruce Lee Gallanter/Downtown Music Gallery Artist Nimbus Collective Genre Jazz Label Pure Pleasure Buying Options 180g 3LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 180g , 3LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Retribution, Reparation Personnel Big Spliff Well You Needn't A Bientot The Goat And The Ram Jam Distant Vibes Mrafu Mfaconi Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz Nearly New View Product Quick View Michael Franks Passionfruit Jazz | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 31st January 2023 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Michael Franks Passionfruit £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Warner Bros SKU: nn257134 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st January 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Spirit of Jazz Jazz | Wagram Music | 1LP Released 23rd June 2017 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Spirit of Jazz £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Wagram Music SKU: 3348796 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Arve Henriksen & Harmen Fraanje Touch of Time Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Arve Henriksen & Harmen Fraanje Touch of Time £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 5899260 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Further Out Jazz | Doxy | 180g, 1LP Released 29th April 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Further Out £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Doxy SKU: DOX886LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anthony Williams Spring (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th August 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anthony Williams Spring (Classic Vinyl Series) £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 5523656 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roy Ayers Virgin Ubiquity (Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981) Jazz | Rapster | 2LP Released 3rd February 2017 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roy Ayers Virgin Ubiquity (Unreleased Recordings 1976-1981) £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Rapster SKU: RR26LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bad Plus The Bad Plus Jazz | Edition Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th February 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bad Plus The Bad Plus £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Edition Records SKU: EDNLP1208 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Binker And Moses Dem Ones Jazz | Gearbox | 1LP Released 15th December 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Binker And Moses Dem Ones £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1530 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Oscar Peterson Trio West Side Story Jazz | Analogue Productions | 200g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 10th February 2014 £65.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Oscar Peterson Trio West Side Story £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ845445 Formats: 200g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 10th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Manu Delago Parasol Peak Jazz | One Little Independent | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th September 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Manu Delago Parasol Peak £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1450LTD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
