NOMALI
by Caiphus Semenya for flügelhorn, alto saxophone, piano, bass & drums Hugh Masekela's 1972 album Home Is Where The Music Is.
HUGH MASEKELA DISCOGRAPHY: 1970-1979 I've searched for a copy of this album for a number of years, there's one available from CDandLP.com here for 82.50 Euro. MusicStack here says $60-$110. GEMM has some here. Update: I just bought one on eBay for $9.99, hope it plays ok.
I first heard this on Keith Rowe's recommendation. He lent me the double album while I was living in Brixton. Either I returned it or mislaid it, but the music has stuck with me all this time. I played by ear the piano parts and transcribed the horn parts while in York, the drums and bass are fictitious, added this week.
Played and used as pedagogy during saxophone classes at the Tower Hamlets Adult Education Institute from 1975-1982 and elsewhere, if we've played together, you'll most likely already have a had written copy incorrectly entitled Angel Numali, an upbeat version of Nomali, which is on In The Townships by Dudu Pukwana. The Scorch version here is my what I've remembered or invented in the past 30 years. Hopefully, I'll get hold of a copy of this track soon and get quite a surprise, we'll see.
