JAZZ
BAKERY, Los Angeles
MARCH 30TH, 2003 at 2:00pm
The members of UGMAA and PAPA are pleased
to announce that they will be performing at the JAZZ BAKERY, MARCH
30TH, 2003 at 2:00pm in a TRIBUTE TO HORACE TAPSCOTT, founder, composer,
pianist, and activist who passed away February 27th, 1999.
This will be the 5th Annual event ,
the first event was held at Washington H.S. February 28th, 1999.
What was planned as the 1st tribute, turned out to be more of a
memorial. Mr. Tapscott passed away hours before many musicians,
poets, artists, and community leaders were able to honor, award,
and present the communities appreciation of the many contributions
made by him.
The concert will bring together two
successful musicians (Michael Session, band leader and Dwight Trible,
director of vocals), both have recorded with Mr. Tapscott and also
have led there own bands and recorded.
Together Session and Trible bring a
new inspiration to the compositions of Horace. They also perform
the works of many other musicians and feature many from around the
community as well as performing the works of Arkestra members.
Featured guest will include Kabasa
Drum and Dance Troupe and Darryll Moore with the Keys of Light.
ΚΚΚΚ Since the passing of Mr. Tapscott the Ark and Voice of UGMAA
have been preserving and performing the music. Keeping the legacy
and works of Horace and others alive.
April 6th will mark the birth of Horace,
so we pay tribute to his birth, his life, his works, his commitment
to the community and his passing. And as a part of the celebration
of his birth the Ark and Voice will also be performing at the Howling
Monk on that date at 6:00pm.
As Horace always said, "our commitment
is contributive and not competitive" and within our ranks are original
and new musicians and vocalist keeping the tradition alive.
