" S T I M U L A T I N G".......2007-01-11

i heard one of hugh masekela's songs on a cab one day and i almost immediately feel in love with it i jumped on amazon and found several of his works and since then this cd has been in my car from the time i bought it up until now, my favorite is the marketplace ....wonderful cd get it express ship it "smile"

FANTASTIC.......2005-09-07

What a cool sensation this record is! Just let it wash over you like a warm summer breeze. The sophisticated, jazzy horn and outrageously melodic pieces on this CD are just wonderful - most notably Grazing In The Grass, with its infectious joy and Strawberries, with its interesting melody and wonderful, melancholy vocals. A must for everyone.

Maybe give it 2 1/2 or 3....of course.......2005-01-10

I don't know 'bout this one 'cuz it maybe the one I'm livin' 4 right there. Not to say I hate it, but it's still good tho. It needs a lot of energy of the songs that Hugh is playing. Love the sound that he's doing on his flugelhorn. He's is definitely the next Miles Davis or Donald Byrd perhaps. Maybe even Chuck Mangione for example. He's actually a mentor I can depend on. Sooner or later, I maybe a mentor like him. 2 me I'm real good on playing the trumpet 'cuz that's a gift from God. Hope u recommend this to anybody who loves to hear good trumpet music.

a decent start on is Music,but.......2005-01-08

there are better overall Compilations on Hugh Masekela. now the title cut grooves&He has a signature Trumpet style of his own.there is alot more to His Talents&other stylings of Creativity that He has done over time.this is a decent Start,but you have to seek it out.

The Best of What !!! No way, or Maybe so.......2004-05-04

This cd is titled "Grazing in the grass: The best of Hugh Maskela. okay, now I would like to know why the other to songs that were release right after grazing in the grass are not on the cd? "Riot" came out on 45rpm right afterwards and the next song that was played on 45rpm was "Puffin on down the track" Where are these songs? Why aren't they on this cd? I will admit "Grazing in the grass" is Hugh Masekela's most successful commercial success, most of his work isn't commercial, and if you're not a fan you probably haven't heard any of his other music. Anytime you title something "Greatest", or the best of,
well..... at least include all of those songs or most of them on the cd. Maybe this is the recording co. or a representative from the company's personal best of. I'll give this cd 4 stars, only because Grazing in the grass is on it, and that song is one of the best instumentals tunes that has been recorded.
