The record
A mid-'60s Verve session catching the South African trumpeter mid-crossover, chasing pop shine while keeping his township horn tone intact. Compact and polished, it's a snapshot of Masekela's exile years, when jazz, R&B and African melody sat comfortably on the same side of the record.
Contemporary reception
No period review located yet. The vintage-press pipeline searches DownBeat, Cash Box, and Billboard for this session.
