Info zu Is Alive And Well At The Whisky (Remastered)

Hugh Masekela "Is Alive and Well at the Whisky" is a 1967 live album by South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela released via Uni Records label. It was recorded live at the night club Whisky a Go Go, Hollywood, California, in 18 to 20 September 1967. The song "Up, Up and Away" was later included in his 2004 album Still Grazing.

One of Hugh's most compelling records from the time – cut live at the Whiskey A Go Go, with a jazzy edge that really shows him growing a lot as a musician. The set features small combo backing by a group that features Al Abreu on sax, Hotep Cecil Barnard on piano, Henry Franklin on bass, and Chuck Carter on drums – and in addition to trumpet, Hugh also does sing a little, does a bit of scatting, and talks between some of the songs, in a tone that exposes a political side that you don't hear on his studio sets. Titles include "Son Of Ice Bag", "Senor Coraza", "Ha Lese Le Di Khanna", "Little Miss Sweetness", "Mra", and a groovy reading of "Up Up & Away".
