Combining two great albums into one convenient package, THELASTING IMPRESSIONS OF OOGA BOOGA presents the recordings that introduced the West to the music of one of jazz's most formidable forces--Hugh Masekela. Hailing from South Africa, Masekela wowed a generation, earning fans as diverse as EricBurdon and Miles Davis.
On THE LASTING IMPRESSIONS OF OOGA BOOGA, Masekela's music combines the elements of the American art form with African song structures, rhythms and melodies. The result is a truly remarkable fusion. "Canteloupe Island" is the only jazz standard here, the rest of the two albums consisting of African originals given a jazz treatment. This collection also affords the listener a chance to hearthe raw energy of Masekela's live show, as the first half of the CD was recorded live in New York City.
In patching together a program of Hugh Masekela's MGM recordings onto a single overstuffed CD, Verve took the original The Americanization of Ooga Booga album, leapfrogged over its successor, Next Album, and coupled it with the third MGM LP, The Lasting Impressions of Hugh Masekela. That made good sense since the two albums originate from the same live date at the Village Gate, recorded when the trumpeter was still in the process of making an impression in the U.S. Masekela is full of wild, sputtering, high-rolling exuberance, developing some of his familiar signature trumpet riffs, freely exploring South African rhythms, harmonic sequences, and chants, and mixing them with soul-jazz at a time when hardly anyone else would bother (the mixture of township jive and jazz works especially well on "U-Dwi"). He also ties into Brazil with a fine rendition of Jorge Ben's "Mas Que Nada" and assimilates Coltrane into his bloodstream with a tribute called "Mixolydia." In general, the Americanization tracks are the picks of the crop (Impressions, after all, had been compiled in 1968 to cash in on Masekela's surprise number one single, "Grazing in the Grass"). With the rhythm section of Larry Willis on piano, Harold Dotson on bass, and Henry Jenkins on drums, this music still holds up marvelously today.
