    A never before issued recording of Horace Tapscott leading his legendary Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. 'Live at Century City Playhouse 9/9/79' documents the entirety of a 2 hours performance, sprawling across glorious 3xLPs, that rises as one of the most beautiful, striking, and historically important records of that year. A joyous explosion of sound, seeded by social, political, and community-based action, at the juncture of spiritual and free jazz. Essential!
