	Americanization Of Ooga Booga New - LP - SE 4372 Sealed 1966 Stereo Original. 4½ Stars In All Music Guide. “Infectious Joy Is Woven Through Every Note Of Music Here, Which Was Enough To Carry Any Kind Of Music From Anyplace In The World Over Any Unfamiliar Patches, Including The Language, Melodies, References To Events, And Places On The Other Side Of The World; If This Was To Be New Yorkers' (And The Recording World's) Introduction To South African Music, It Was Made Incredibly Genial And Accessible, Even From A Jazz Standpoint. The Influence Of Dizzy Gillespie And Freddie Hubbard Can Be Heard, Along With McCoy Tyner In The Playing Of Pianist Larry Willis, And He Shows His Debt To John Coltrane As An Inspiration On "Mixolydia" As Well As His Affinity For Brazilian Music On "Mas Que Nada." But The Core Sound Was What Masekela Called "Township Bop" -- His Short Trumpet Bursts, Sometimes Seemingly Approaching Microtonal Territory, Are Engrossing Celebrations Of The Melodies Of His Repertory, Which Is Mostly Of South African Origin (Including A Pair Written By His Then-Wife, Miriam Makeba). Among The Latter, The Opening Number, "Bajabula Bonke," Aka "Healing Song," Got Its First Airing On Record Here -- It Would Later Receive A Bolder Performance At The Monterey Pop Festival, Comprising One Of That Event's Numerous Musical Highlights, But Where That Later Performance Streaked And Soared, This One Starts Out Slowly And Quietly, Exquisitely Harmonized And Rising Gradually And Gently Like A Glider Catching Rising Winds; It's Impossible To Fully Appreciate The Monterey Performance Without Hearing This One. With Herbie Hancock's "Cantelope Island" Providing One Firm Reference Point In The American Jazz Idiom, The Set Really Wasn't That Removed From 1965 Listeners, As Its Stronger-Than-Expected Sales Proved.” All Music Guide. more

	Emancipation Of Hugh Masekela New - LP - 73007 Sealed 1966 Stereo Original. His First And Excellent American Effort Featuring Big Black, Congas; Chuck Carter, Drums; John Cartwright, Bass And Charlie Small, Piano. Recommended. First Copy We Have Had In Stock In Six Years. “South African Expatriate Hugh Masekela Was The Architect Of An Extremely Interesting And Viable Musical Form, An Audacious Blending Of South African Rhythms, Swing Jazz, And Rock & Roll. Emancipation Is The First American Effort In This Area, And It's A Fantastic, Soul-Deep Affair. With A Crack Band Including Charlie Smalls On Piano And Two Drummers (The Original Big Black On Percussion), Masekela's Vocals And Intense Trumpet Have The Perfect Platform From Which To Fly. One Track In Particular, "She Doesn't Write," Is Almost A Template For "Grazing In The Grass," Which Was A Huge Hit The Following Year. Masekela Was Also Involved With The Jim Dickson/Byrds/Peter Fonda Crowd At The Time, And That Influence Can Be Felt Here As Well. A Perfect Introduction To Hugh Masekela.” Matthew Greenwald, AMG. more

	Home Is Where The Music Is New - LP - BTS 6003 Sealed 1972 2LP Original Housed In A Heavy-Duty Tri-Fold Cover. “This Album Marked An Accessible But Sharp Detour From His More Pop-Oriented Jazz Records Of The '60s. Masekela Was Chasing A Different Groove Altogether. He Was Looking To Create A Very Different Kind Of Fusion, One That Involved The Rhythms And Melodies Of His Native South Africa, And Included The More Spiritual, Soul-Driven Explorations Occurring In American Music At The Time On Labels Like Strata East, Tribe, And Black Jazz As Well As Those Laid Down By Gato Barbieri On Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman Imprint. The South African And American Quintet He Assembled For The Date Is Smoking. It Includes The Mighty Saxophonist Dudu Pukwana And Drummer Makaya Ntshoko, Both South African Exiles; They Were Paired With American Pianist Larry Willis And Bassist Eddie Gomez, Creating A Wonderfully Balanced, Groove-Oriented Ensemble. Produced By Stewart Levine And Composer Caiphus Semenya, This Is A Near Mythic Date That Was Reviewed Favorably But Infrequently Back In The Day.” …..One Of The Greatest Recordings In Hugh Masekela's Long Career. In A Year Full Of Amazing Titles, This Is Still A Standout.” Thom Jurek, AMG. more

	The Boy's Doin' It New - LP - NBLP 7017 Sealed 1975 Original. No other work during Hugh Masekela's long and fruitful career blended all of his interests -- jazz, funk, pop, Afrobeat, and R&B, plus a little Latin and a lot of disco -- into such an exciting mixture as 1975's The Boy's Doin' It, his first record for Casablanca. Influenced by Kool & the Gang as well as the growing tendency for Latin artists (like Joe Bataan) to cross over toward contemporary dance trends (and labels), Masekela recruited a few veterans from the Ghanian highlife band Hedzoleh Soundz -- with whom he'd worked with on one album before. Recorded in Lagos, Nigeria and dedicated to Fela Kuti, The Boy's Doin' It has six extended jams, each of which does an excellent job of playing off deep grooves against ensemble vocals and catchy hooks, with plenty of room for Masekela's own trumpet and every note polished to a fine '70s sheen. It didn't matter what type of music fan you were: pop, disco, funk, world music, and any but the most hidebound jazz purist could get into these tracks. AMG - John Bush more
