In the early 1960s, pianist 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 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 collective, was at the forefront of the vital
community-based arts movement 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. In The Dark Tree,
Steven L. Isoardi draws on one hundred in-depth interviews with the
Arkestra’s participants to tell the history of the important and
largely overlooked community arts movement of Black Los Angeles.
This revised and updated edition brings the story of the Arkestra
up to date, as its ethos and aesthetic remain vital forces in jazz
and popular music to this day.
