sandubogi A great collection! Favorite track: Joala-The zulus.

Ordinary Joe The compilation that revealed Hugh Masekela's genius to me.

When I bought the CD for the first time in 2006, I was totally impressed and I still am after so many years.
Great spiritual and uplifting music and one of my favorite jazz compilations.
Thank you BBE, thank you HUGH MASEKELA for the beauty of your life work - R. I. P.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Could We Be More
by Kokoroko

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Chisa Years”

Long-anticipated and it delivers on every level. Soulful, brassy, bold and in the pocket. Rich like chocolate lava cake. Kokoroko has kept my eyebrows raised and my body moving since the self-titled EP in 2019, now we have the LP to celebrate. Charlie Moonbeam
