SHowstopper 1984. Jamaaladeen Tacuma's first solo album. Showstopper Gramavision. Jamaaladeen Tacuma played with Ornette Colemans Prime Time before he recorded his first solo album SHOWSTOPPER in 1983. By that time he also played with The Golden Palominos. When I bought this vinyl album it was a time when the New York Noise music scene became the latest avant-garde trend to influence mainstream jazz and rock. You know the usual suspects: Massacre, Lounge Lizards, Ronald Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society, James Blood Ulmer, Arto Lindsay & The Ambitious Lovers, John Zorn etc. Jamaaladeen Tacuma born Rudy McDaniel June 11, 1956 is an American free jazz bassist born in Hempstead, New York. He was a bandleader on the Gramavision label and worked with Ornette Coleman during the 1970s and 1980s, mostly in Coleman's Prime Time band. Tacuma showcased a unique style of avant-garde jazz on Coleman's 1982 album Of Human Feelings, and became widely viewed as one of the most distinctive bassists since Jaco Pastorius. He formed his own group, and recorded albums that incorporated. Band Name Jamaaladeen Tacuma. Album Name Show Stopper. Type Album. Released date 1983. Labels Gramavision Records.
