SIGNED!! "STILL GRAZING-THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF HUGH MASEKELA" BY HUGH MASEKELA AND D MICHAEL CHEERS, 2004 FIRST EDITION, 394 PAGES, HARDCOVER, COMPLETE INTACT DUSTJACKET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

One of today's few living world-class artists and rare spirits narrates a magical journey around the world in this epic, music-soaked tale of love, excess, exile, and home. Hugh Masekela is a prodigiously talented giant of jazz and world music and a pioneer in bringing the voice and spirit of Africa to the West, but his globe-trotting tale transcends music. Masekela has lived a rich and relentless life, infused with love and loss, sex and drugs, exile and revolution. And he survived it all barely with wit, passion, and eventually, wisdom.

Masekela's life began in a South Africa haunted by violence but redeemed by the consolations of family, music, and adventure. As the grip of apartheid tightened, he was driven into exile and embarked on what would become a thirty-year pilgrimage around the world. His first top was New York City, where he was adopted by bebop heroes like Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis and international stars like Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba. When his effervescent recording of "Grazing in the Grass" hit number one around the world in 1968, his career took off like a rocket.
