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. Album Info This Release.

Several records followed, some of which include: Renaissance Man 1984, Music World 1987 and JukeBox 1989, which confirmed his ability to flip between various musical genres. Even the critics have had high praise for Tacuma's musicianship and artistry. In 1981, he received the highest number of votes ever for an electric bassist in the Talent Deserving Wider Recognition category of the Down Beat critics' poll.
