| | Hugh Masekela Presents The Chisa Years: 1965-1975 (Rare And Unreleased) CD - Import Hugh Masekela Discography of CDs
This immensely enjoyable selection of recordings from the South African trumpeter's own label features Hugh Masekela and band accompanying a wide variety of singers and instrumentalists. Songs range from Fela-style jams like "Ahvuomo" and the R&B-flavored "Afrobeat Blues" to the almost tropical-sounding "Awe Mfana." Although Masekela himself makes few appearances here, this compelling set demonstrates his unerring good taste in his choice of collaborators.

New Orleans-born trumpeter Tommy Ladnier is honored here with a chronologically stacked retrospective covering the years 1926-1939. While a few examples from his earlier work (1924-1925) with Jelly Roll Morton, Lovie Austin, and Sam Wooding would have been nice, the selections on Goose Pimples were obviously intended to showcase Ladnier's mature style, from the Fletcher Henderson sides of 1926 and 1927 through the rowdy New Orleans Feetwarmers session of 1932 and various 1938 recordings by both Ladnier's own band and the one he co-led with clarinetist Mezz Mezzrow. (Too bad they didn't include Fletcher Henderson's 1926 recording of Mel Stitzel's "The Chant," a fascinating performance ...
