Hugh Masekela - Reconstruction (1970)@flac

Hugh Masekela kicks off the 70s with this wonderfully bold statement, a record that's light years from the shorter, simpler instrumentals of his earliest American years and which really shows Hugh trying to reach out for a new groove! Masekela sings a bit on the set, often with this raspy tone that echoes his slight grimace on the cover and instrumentation includes lots of work from other LA electric jazz giants, including members of The Crusaders, with Joe Sample on Fender Rhodes, Monk Montgomery and Wilton Felder on bass, Arthur Adams on guitar, and Larry Willis on piano.
Some of the best tracks have earthy percussion at the bottom - congas by Francisco Aguabella - which complicates the rhythms in a great way. (dustygroove.com)
