Time (Hugh Masekela album)


Time is a 2002 studio album by South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela. The album was recorded in Johannesburg, South Africa and released via Sony and Columbia labels.

Reception

Chris Nickson of AllMusic wrote " From South African gospel to the slightly rougher feel of mbaqanga, and even the more contemporary kwaito on "Old People, Young Folks," this album keeps its feet on the ground at home. About the only thing missing is that Masekela focuses more on his gritty, warm vocals, rather than his excellent trumpet playing. But he seems happy enough with that, and the sense of jubilation surrounding the disc glows peacefully".

Awards

Time won Masekela the South African Music Award in best producer and best male artist nominations.
