A masterpiece of chamber jazz, and an delightful contrast to the exuberant barnstorming of his long-established touring band, it acted as a timely reminder to the world that Masekela is one of the most lyrical brass players in jazz, with the ability to tug at the heartstrings and feed the soul with music that ranges from jazz standards to some of his own iconic songs.
The duo played a hugely successful UK tour later that year, including a sold-out London concert. The sheer personality of the two musicians enchanted a packed Royal Festival Hall, creating a special atmosphere that turned the Royal Festival Hall into the most intimate of clubs, the music interspersed with reminiscence that recollects their formative years in the jazz hotbed that was New York in the early 60s. This exclusive concert marks a very welcome return to the city, this time at the Barbican Centre.
