Hugh Masekela _ Still Grazing, The Musical Journey of Hugh Masekela.
"Trumpeter/flugelhornist/vocalist, Hugh Masekela came to N.Y. in the early 1960s when his S.African homeland was suffering through the fierce injustices of apartheid. A self-proclaimed jazz worshipper, he wanted to join the band of Art Blakey or Horace Silver or one of his other heroes. Instead he became a "world music" pioneer, mixing up the bright sounds and rhythyms of the townships with jazz, r&b, and Brazillian samba. Released in conjunction with his autobiography, this disc features recordings from Masekela's Chisa, Uni, and Blue Thumb releases, a formative stretch of a long career."
