Good call Effie! Charted June of '68-Top 5! Masekela actually was real prolific during that time! That came out on the UNI label, a subsidiary of MCA. He released maybe a half dozen lp's during that era, from '67 to '69; Alive and well at the Whiskey, Masekela,(and vol.2), and some material on the Chisa label, also an MCA spinoff label; "Reconstruction" is on that label. Also recorded on Casablanca and the Blue Thumb in the 70's. His recording history goes back 45 years!

Benito Mussolini had a son Romano, who was an acclaimed jazz pianist. I posted four of his performances in the what are you listening to(part deux) thread.

Here's one!
