Horace Tapscott - As A Child




Kamau Daáoud - Leimert Park




Dwight Trible - John Coltrane



An excerpt from Dwight Trible's 'Horace' CD is a homage to Horace Tapscott. 'John Coltrane' is my favourite track on the album. This excerpt gives a taste of Tribbles' amazing and often avant-garde jazz vocal style but the full track (11mins) has other vocal harmony elements that are quite unique.
