Energetic Gritty Joyous Organic Passionate Rousing Summery. Celebration Freedom Imagination Summer. Released as a double LP on Chisa/Blue Thumb in 1972, Hugh Masekela's Home Is Where the Music Is marked a sharp detour from his more pop-oriented jazz records of the '60s. Masekela was chasing a different groove altogether. He was looking to create a very different kind of fusion, one that involved the rhythms and melodies of his native South Africa, and included the more spiritual, soul-driven explorations occurring in American music at the time on labels like Strata East, Tribe, and Black Jazz as well as those laid down by Gato Barbieri on Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman imprint.

Hugh Masekela - flugelhorn. Dudu Pukwana - alto sax. Larry Willis - piano. Makhaya Ntshoko - drums. Jazz and blues mp3 archives are shown on the landing page.

The music on this album is amazing, and although dated in sound, grooves, playing style and recording technique, it has a particular beauty that is reminiscent of some of Miles Davis work after Kind of Blue. The CD jacket does not do the art work justice. The album art is particularly gorgeous when viewed on Album format. There's a mystical quality about the playing and sound of this album. It would be something you'd play on a warm afternoon or early evening during the summer. There's no flashy post-be-bop licks here.

Masekela was chasing a different groove altogether. The South African and American quintet he assembled for the date is smoking.
