Recorded live at Washington DC's Blues Alley, Hope features inspired new interpretations of Hugh's most requested performance pieces, including the #1 crossover hit 'Grazin' In The Grass' and a previously unreleased composition entitled 'Until When'. In all over 73 minutes of captivating music.

Customer Reviews
Warmth & energy on a CD
This CD captures Masekela's live performance brilliantly. It has the intimacy of his gigs at Ronnie Scotts in recent years.
The opening Abangoma sets the pace with harmonious vocals and horns being driven by drums that just make you want to move. Stimela is a perfect moving climax, sung with real emotion that could only work on a live recording when he has an audience to tell the tale to.
A gem of a CD.
