Wikipedia Summary:
Horace Tapscott was an American jazz pianist and composer. While not primarily associated with Middle Eastern music, Tapscott's innovative approach to jazz and his interest in diverse musical influences occasionally led him to incorporate elements that could be seen as having connections to Middle Eastern sounds. His work with the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra often explored various cultural influences, potentially including Middle Eastern musical concepts. Tapscott's use of modal scales and complex rhythms in some compositions shared similarities with certain aspects of Middle Eastern music. However, any Middle Eastern influences in his music were likely subtle and integrated into his broader jazz vocabulary and Afrocentric approach rather than being a primary focus.
