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 View Product Quick View Roland Kirk Here Comes The Whistleman Jazz | Modern Harmonic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th February 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roland Kirk Here Comes The Whistleman £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Modern Harmonic SKU: LPMH8261C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins Monk Jazz | Doxy | 180g, 1LP Released 30th January 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins Monk £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Doxy SKU: DOX853LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Henry Franklin The Skipper Jazz | Real Gone Music | 1LP Released 5th March 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Henry Franklin The Skipper £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Real Gone Music SKU: RLGM11891PMI Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jason Moran All Rise: A Joyful Elegy For Fats Waller Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 6th November 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jason Moran All Rise: A Joyful Elegy For Fats Waller £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3782461 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alice Coltrane A Monastic Trio Jazz | Superior Viaduct | 1LP Released 19th May 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alice Coltrane A Monastic Trio £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Superior Viaduct SKU: SV020 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band Landmarks Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 1LP Released 28th April 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band Landmarks £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3772606 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Hicks Steadfast Jazz | Strata East | 180g, 1LP Released 12th November 2021 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Hicks Steadfast £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Strata East SKU: SES 9008 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Atkins Workshop Jazz | Modern Harmonic | 180g, 1LP Released 1st February 2018 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Atkins Workshop £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Modern Harmonic SKU: MH8064 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Kind Of Blue Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 14th June 2010 £32.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Miles Davis Kind Of Blue £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP019 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 14th June 2010 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Keyon Harrold Foreverland Jazz | UMC | 2LP Released 5th April 2024 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Keyon Harrold Foreverland £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: UMC SKU: 7242812 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
