Synopsis
While he was still in his twenties, Horace Tapscott gave up a successful career in Lionel Hampton's band and returned to his home in Los Angeles to found the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a community arts group that focused on providing affordable, community-oriented jazz and jazz training. Over the course of almost forty years, the Arkestra, together with the related Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension (UGMAA) Foundation, were at the forefront of the vital community-based arts movements in black Los Angeles. Some three hundred artists - musicians, vocalists, poets, playwrights, painters, sculptors, and graphic artists - passed through these organizations, many ultimately remaining within the community and others moving on to achieve international fame. Based primarily on one hundred in-depth interviews with current and former participants, "The Dark Tree" is the first history of the important and largely overlooked community arts movement of African American Los Angeles. Brought to life by the passionate voices of the men and women who worked to make the arts integral to everyday community life, this engrossing book completes the account began in the highly acclaimed "Central Avenue Sounds", which documented the secular music history of the first half of the twentieth century and which the San Francisco Examiner called 'one of the best jazz books ever compiled'.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Completely clean and free of wear or damage inside and out. Book and dust jacket will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit. "The Dark Tree is just wonderful. One cannot understand the history of black arts on the West Coast without a thorough assessment of this movement: Isoardi knows this history so well and tells a much bigger story. The book does a fantastic job of capturing the nitty-gritty nature of the music scene and resurrecting local figures in the Arkestra who have never gotten any press for their astounding musicianship. This is a remarkable book." - Robin Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination. N° de réf. du vendeur ABH5107
