Happy Birthday to the legendary Horace Tapscott! You've always marched—or rather, improvised—to your own beat. Your avant-garde melodies and bop-infused rhythms have kept Los Angeles jazz delightfully unpredictable. Who else could spend a lifetime on the fringes yet remain at the heart of musical innovation?From pioneering free jazz sessions that left audiences both amazed and slightly confused (in a good way), you've proven time after time that being individualistic is truly timeless. Here's hoping this birthday swings as freely as your music—unconventional, unforgettable, and just a little bit wild!
Keep improvising; we wouldn't want it any other way!
