This is Bheke Mseleku's final album, recorded in 2003, and after years of not finding an appreciative audience in apartheid South Africa, he indeed returns home. He died five years later. Home At Last is solid post-bop, contemporary jazz, polished, urbane, and mellow. On this session, Mseleku again is at the piano, but he is joined by a fine ensemble of African jazzmen: Phillip Meintjies or Morabol Morojele at the drums, depending on track; Enoch Mthalane, guitar; Feya Faku, trumpet; saxophonists Winston Mankunku Ngozi and Ezra Ngcukana; percussionist Tiale Makhene, and bassist Herbie Tsoaeli. Within a generous 79 minutes, the 12 tracks provide lyricism, occasional South African melodies, fine improvisational interplay of musicians, and even a clever homage to Thelonious Monk. Mseleku's piano musicianship throughout and the sonority of the horns and tasteful percussion makes pleasurable listening. It is rare for a jazz artist to consistently issue excellent albums; Mseleku's discography is such a collection.
