Hugh Masekela cut "Grazing in the Grass" for The Promise of a Future, his 1968 album, with Stewart Levine producing, and the tune came from Philemon Hou rather than the trumpeter himself. Masekela's horn leads a small, limber band: Al Abreu on tenor sax, William Henderson on piano, Henry Franklin on double bass and Chuck Carter on drums, with a percussionist whose name went unrecorded keeping the groove rolling underneath. Six players, no wasted motion, and a trumpet line that sounds like the first warm afternoon of the year.
