What's great about this album is that it makes jazz accessible. The pace changes effortlessly between tracks and themes. Some of the softer tones on the trumpet are stunning. Masekela puts the brakes on leading to some understated playing. He is so confident in his abilities that he can afford to hold a little back. Then the pace picks up. It's here where the album is at its best with the multiple trumpets playing a brash sound together.

I had high hopes for this, as I knew the name but had never delved into the back catalogue. But I must admit by the third track I was shocked to realise that the album wasn't almost done. Not really a Jazz person, and this put me in mind of 70s US tv themes as much as anything.
