Astonishing & gorgeous music from South Africa's best known jazz pioneer, the legendary Hugh Masekela, reissued on high quality 12" vinyl pressing from NYC's slow to speak. Regarded as a master of the trumpet and cherished as a cross-sectional musical pioneer throughout greater Africa, his music has traveled to the eager appetites of Europe's jazz audiences and all the way across oceans to America's diasporic musical cultivations, leaving an indelible impression of eternal genius & indisputable talent across the map. "Stimela-Coal Train" is one of his most popular compositions, a reinterpretation of a popular migrant worker's song of lament and fury, but it is this flooring live performance that really sets Masekela in the realm of eternal creative force. Beginning with a series of stunning solos spanning the full jazz palate, the record opens into an ascending vocal crescendo, exploding in the last 2 minutes with an act of tremendous cathartic communion. On the b-side, Hugh's legendary dance classic "Don't Go Lose It Baby" receives a justly LOUD and full pressing worthy of Richard Long's greatest systems. A timeless classic in the underground dance communities of the United States, most notably the Paradise Garage, "Don't Go Lose It Baby" is a massively funky & undeniable example of the post-disco, proto-house era of classic innovation, reflecting Masekela's interest in early electronic synthesizers & production and a reaffirmation of his propensity for experimentation, cross-pollination & boundary expansion. Two breathtaking pieces of universal music from a devotee of musical consciousness throughout South Africa and well beyond, Masekela has earned his place among the exceptional few, an innovator & an institution upon himself that has pushed the limits of jazz, disco, & african musics with determined integrity & endless creativity.
