A 2010 session between Allen, Fela Kuti's drummer (he was the beat of Afrobeat, how fucking cool is that) and South African trumpeter Masekela. This is, as Allen puts it, a kind of South African-Nigerian swing-jazz stew, and what a tasty stew it is. Allen's play is subtle yet never hides in the background. On the opposite, Masekela's melodies are bombastic and playful yet never take too much space. And from time to time, Hugh sings with a voice full of so much emotions I wouldn't dare listing them. This is (a)live music.
