 | | Masekela produced several RCA albums by Makeba, to whom he was married from 1964 to 1966. | | | Several of these tracks are new versions of touchstone songs from the prolific career of Masekela, whose sixth album for Sony Music is set for release next spring 2002. | | | Masekela's mute-work on "Strawberries," from 1961's The Many Voices Of Miriam Makeba album, became a favorite of DJ Symphony Sid on his nightly WEVD radio show. |

| | Hugh Masekela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1987, he had a hit single with "Bring Him Back Home" which became an anthem for the movement to free Nelson Mandela. | | | He had hits in the United States with the pop jazz tunes "Up, Up and Away" and "Grazin' in the Grass". | | | In the 1980s, he toured with Paul Simon in support of Simon's then controversial, but highly critically acclaimed, album Graceland, which featured other South African artists such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Miriam Makeba, Ray Phiri, and other elements of the band Kalahari, which Masekela recorded with in the 1980s. |

| | HUGH MASEKELA: BIOGRAPHY |
| | Hugh Masekela's most recent release celebrates the entirety of his four-decade career by coupling new recordings of his most popular songs - supported by his terrific South African band - with a collection of his most recent successes. | | | Masekela began recording extensively with Miriam Makeba and can be heard adding his trumpet, singing and arranging talents to some of the singer's very best records. | | | By 1975, Hugh was lured back to "hit-making music" by the newly launched American label, Casablanca Records - which would later house some of the decade's best disco music (Masekela even recorded briefly as "Disco Kid" at the label's inception). |

| | Masekela’s terrific fugal horn solo continued where the guitarist left off, lending an ounce of hope into the musical mix. | | | With no additional brass other than Masekela, the music and vibes depended upon the lead guitarist and keyboardist, who were allowed ample room for improvisation although at points there was an excessive slickness. | | | The song escalated until all members of the band were playing and singing to a union effect that had the nightclub audience once again mesmerized. |

| | Jazz From South Africa: Hugh Masekela |
| | That’s Hugh Masekela in a nutshell: combining musical genres from Afrobeat to American pop effortlessly. | | | Fortunately, Masekela followed their advice and has been a fixture on the world’s musical stage ever since. | | | The band’s cover of Jimmy Webb’s optimistic ditty “Up, Up, and Away” sounds like a lot of jazz arrangements of pop songs that were being done in 1967, when the album Hugh Masekela is Alive and Well at the Whiskey (from which this performance is taken) was released. |

| | Hopefully this record is the first in a line of Hugh Masekela's other '60s recordings to be released on CD. | | | Masekela delivers an instrumental version of Makeba's 'Ntjilo-Ntjilo' as well as another song Makeba recorded, 'Phatsha-Phatsha', and it's easy to imagine 'Umaningi Bona' and 'Sharpville' being in her repertoire too. | | | True, Masekela was more than a jazz musician, but rarely will you hear a jazz-based record as poorly recorded as this one. |

| | HUGH MASEKELA / INTRODUCING HEDZOLEH SOUNDZ |
| | For Masekela it was a perfect fit, and his playing never sounded more organic, reflecting the joy of finally being able to express every bit of his musical genius through his African soul. | | | Back where he started, Masekela revelled in the joy of making African music, forgetting the past ghetto pain, the obligatory displays of technical prowess, the commercial pressures--liberated in the exuberance of the moment. | | | I don't speak a word of Zulu or Ghanian, but I know in my heart that Masekela and the Hedzoleh Soundz are singing about something sweet, spreading a musical message of love that bridges the language barrier. |

| | South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela fused the South-African tradition of work and church songs (the South-African equivalent of the American blues and gospel) and Zulu mbaqanga rhythms with the structure of jazz and pop-jazz music. | | | Masekela joined the hippy generation when he played on Byrds albums and at the Monterey Pop Festival. | | | In the 1990s, Masekela released albums in a different, simpler, mood such as Beatin' Around De Bush (1992), Hope (1993), that recycles old material for the new generation, Johannesburg (1995), Notes Of Life (1995), Black to the Future (1997), perhaps the best, Sixty (1999), Time (2003), Revival (2005). |
