Hugh Masekela is a giant of jazz and a pioneer in bringing the voice and spirit of Africa to the West, but his wild and moving tale transcends the world of music. A South African exile, he landed in New York, where he was adopted by bebop heroes like Dizzy Gillespie, and soon fell, headfirst, into the raucous swirl of 1960s America. During the thirty-year pilgrimage that followed, he stumbled into adventure after adventure, whether battling Don King over the Rumble in the Jungle concert, finding himself on the wrong side of revolutions all over West Africa, loving some of the most beautiful and volatile women in the world, or battling for the destruction of apartheid. When he finally returned to a free South Africa, he found the strength to confront the personal demons that tracked him around the world and discovered a new measure of peace at home. Unfolding against one of the most inspiring political transformations of the twentieth century, this is the engrossing chronicle of a remarkable, one-of-a-kind musical life.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
