Best Things to Do in SoCal and LA This Week: February 23-March 1

Getty Center presents a screening of "Horace Tapscott: Musical Griot" by L.A. Rebellion filmmaker Barbara McCullough, a four-decades-in-the-making tribute to legendary jazz composer Horace Tapscott. Screened in conjunction with the exhibition Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–85, the film is an intimate portrait of Tapscott’s indelible imprint on Black Los Angeles and musical history. After the screening, McCullough joins Getty Research Institute senior research specialist Kristin Juarez for an onstage conversation, offering deeper insight into the moving image as an historical record.
