专辑介绍
by Richard S. Ginell
Now happily resettled in South Africa, Masekela assembled a seven-piece group there and recorded an informal guided tour of his life and repertoire live in Washington D.C.'s Blues Alley. The songs stretch over a period of nearly five decades and several countries and composers - from an incantory Alexandria township tune, &Languta,& which he learned in 1947, to a fairly ordinary piece written by keyboardist Themba Mkhize in 1993, &Until When.& &Abangoma& starts the CD out on the right track, harkening back to the early fusion of African music and jazz that Hugh was playing back in 1966. &Bring Him Back Home& may have lost its political raison d'etre by 1993, but it remains a good tune, and the band plays it with enthusiasm. Yet Masekela's biggest hit, &Grazing in the Grass,& sounds a bit tired in this live rendition. There are two songs by the prolific South African composer Caiphus Semenya, &Nomali& and the driving &Ha Le Se,& and the late Nigerian idol Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is represented by &Lady.& Clearly the resolution of the political struggle in South Africa had mellowed Masekela; he sounds happier, perhaps less fiery, certainly more polished and refined on the trumpet and flugelhorn than when he started out. But when you hear his bitter narration on &Stimela,& describing the life of formerly conscripted coal miners, you suspect that not all of the old wounds have healed.
