Hugh Masekela – Home Is Where The Music Is | 2×Vinyl LP | VG+
This powerful double-album from South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela captures one of the most musically expansive periods of his international career. Home Is Where The Music Is blends deep jazz improvisation with African rhythms, soul influences, and political undertones reflecting the exile experience of many South African musicians during the late 1970s.
Released on MCA/Roots Records, the album features extended compositions and strong collaborations with fellow South African musicians, including Caiphus Semenya. Tracks like “Part Of A Whole” and “Inner Crisis” showcase Masekela’s expressive trumpet work alongside layered percussion, bass, and piano arrangements. The record moves between spiritual jazz passages, groove-driven African jazz, and contemplative instrumental pieces, making it one of his more sophisticated and collectible recordings.
This is the 2-LP gatefold edition, catalogue number RTXD 6005, pressed on MCA Records. Double albums from this period are especially desirable among collectors of South African jazz and global jazz fusion.
