Outernational Sounds presents a cornerstone document from the Los Angeles jazz underground, Flight 17 - the first appearance on record of the legendary Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, led by their founder and mastermind, Horace Tapscott. Available on vinyl for the first time in 40 years. The Arkestra would allow the creativity in the community to come together, would allow people to recognize each other as one people. Horace Tapscott's Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra (P.A.P.A.) was one of the most transformative, forward-thinking and straight-up heavy big bands to have played jazz in the 1960s and 1970s. If P.A.P.A. doesn't have the interstellar rep of that other famous Arkestra, and if the name Tapscott doesn't ring bells like Monk or Tyner, there's a reason why: in an industry dominated by record labels, a band that doesn't record doesn't count. And the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra didn't record for nearly twenty years. But recording success was never their concern - they weren't about that. First formed as the Underground Musicians Association in the early 1960s, Tapscott always wanted his group to be a community project. From their base in Watts, UGMA got down at the grassroots. The group was renamed the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra in 1971, and soon after they established a monthly residency at the Immanuel United Church of Christ which ran for over a decade, while still playing all over LA and beyond. But they never released a note of music. It was the intervention of fan Tom Albach that finally got them on wax. Determined that their work should be documented, Albach founded Nimbus Records specifically to release the music of Tapscott, the Arkestra, and the individuals that comprised it. The first recording sessions in early 1978 yielded enough material for two albums, and the first release was Flight 17. From the surging avant-gardism of Herbie Baker's title track to the laidback summertime groove of Kamonta Lawrence Polk's "Maui", or Roberto Miranda's up-tempo Latin jam "Horacio", Flight 17 showcased the radical voices of the Arkestra's members. Led out by Tapscott's hard-swinging piano, this is the first flight on wax of the West Coasts' foundational community big band - energized, hip, and together. Contains two tracks previously only available on the 1997 CD edition: "Coltrane Medley" and "Village Dance", recorded live at the Immanuel United Church of Christ. 180 gram vinyl pressing by Pallas. Fully licensed from Nimbus West founder Tom Albach.

Comforter is nice, sheets are alright. Color is true!
Color: Burnt Orange, Size: Queen
This is a decent comforter set. The actual comforter isn’t too heavy, and would be perfect spring through fall in the Midwest. It’s a true queen size fit and the burnt orange color looks as it does in the photos. I ordered these before it mentioned they’re polyester. They definitely don’t feel as breathable as cotton sheets but as far polyester goes, they feel soft. The sheets wrinkle easily but the comforter feels durable. If you’re looking for an affordable sheet set and you’re cool with polyester, this is a good option. Also of note is that 2 of the pillow cases have a little extra fabric on the outer rim to look more “decorative.”

Comfortable and Attractive Bedding Set That Offers Great Value
Color: Pink, Size: Queen
This queen bedding set is a nice combination of comfort and style. The pink color looks beautiful, and the textured comforter gives the bed a cozy, modern appearance. The sheets feel soft and comfortable, while the comforter is lightweight yet provides enough warmth for a restful night’s sleep. I appreciate that the set includes everything needed for a complete bedding setup, making it a convenient option. It’s also easy to care for and holds its appearance well after washing. While it may not have the feel of a premium luxury set, for the price it’s not bad at all and offers solid value. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable and attractive bedding set.

Lightweight, very smooth and comfortable comforter sheet set an a very attractive price
Color: Ivory, Size: Queen, Color: Ivory, Size: Queen
Such a well priced, attractive bed in a bag (comforter and sheet set) with the most lightweight comforter I have ever come across that is not a down comforter. This one is filled with 100% polyester with a 100% microfiber exterior. The sheets are called microfiber, which I am sometimes not a fan of as sometimes they feel too stretchy and hot. However, these feel good, and almost more like a smooth percale. It’s nice to the touch. Color is attractive in a clean ivory color. Going back to the comforter, I love the lightness of natural down, but somehow I have developed a sensitivity to the feathers which make me sneeze. This one can easily be thrown into the washer and dryer and feels equivalently light as my down comforters. It weighs in at slightly over a pound (though I could only carry it onto the scale) and I absolutely love the lightness of it. I did wash it in the washer and dried it in a dryer on normal heat. Came out with no wrinkles and very fluffy. Five stars!

Nice Comforter, Thin Sheets
Color: Blue, Size: Queen, Color: Blue, Size: Queen
I bought this comforter set for my guest bedroom, and the price was great. It’s really pretty and fits the bed perfectly. It includes a comforter, a sheet set with pillowcases, and two pillow shams. It arrived vacuum-sealed, when I opened it, I was impressed by how soft it felt—just right for a comforter. It seems like it will be warm yet cooling at the same time, and I love its thickness. The only downside was the sheet set. While the comforter is fluffy and cozy, the sheets felt cheap—very thin—and I prefer them thicker. They’re labeled 100% polyester but are just too thin for my taste. If you’re not picky about sheets, this set would be perfect. They are soft, just not thick enough. Overall, I really like the comforter, but I’ll use my own sheets because of the thinness of the included ones. I would have given it five, but the sheets bring it down to four.

Beautiful Sage Green Set That is Super Soft and Cozy!
Color: Sage Green, Size: Queen
​I am absolutely in love with this sage green bedding set. The queen comforter has a gorgeous pre washed crinkled texture that gives the whole bedroom a really cozy, aesthetic look without needing to be ironed. It is incredibly fluffy and has just the right amount of weight to it, making it perfect to use all year round. The brushed sheets that come with the bed in a bag are surprisingly soft against the skin, and everything fit my queen mattress perfectly right out of the box. ​The color is a beautiful, calming sage green that matches my room decor perfectly. I have already washed the sheets and comforter once, and they held up great in the machine without losing their softness or shrinking.
