One of my favorite soundtracks from my youth in the 60's. Enjoy Hugh Masekela in studio, performing one of his most enduring signature tracks.

Practically every track on this album is a winner. Here's another one: A Felicidade

Grew up during the same timeframe and listened to jazz quite a bit. Enjoyed HM quite a bit with all the ole heavies.

Glad I could turn you on to it. It's the hit track of the very first album I ever purchased with my own money (1968).

Am I dating myself? I hope so ;-)

Ah...a kindred soul. I knew there had to be a few here.

Thanks for the appreciation.

Oh yeah. "Grazing In The Grass" is a perennial favorite!

If you really want to get into the old 60's pan-African groove, check this out:

Masakela played the horn riff in the Byrds song: “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star”. His contribution really made the song stand out and it was the first time I ever heard of him. Been a fan ever since.

I had no idea he made that earlier an entry to the western music scene. My respect for the man just ratcheted up a couple notches higher.

Grazin’In The Grass by Hugh Masekela led me to listen to this song by Bony James..both of these versions are delicious to listen to.
