Description: This live album captures a rare collaboration between Los Angeles trumpet legend Herb Alpert and South African jazz pioneer Hugh Masekela. Recorded during a 1978 tour, Main Event Live merges West Coast jazz-pop with African rhythms and improvisation, reflecting both artists’ commitment to cross-cultural dialogue. Released during apartheid-era tensions, Masekela’s involvement adds political and global depth to the project, while Alpert’s melodic instincts ground the performance in accessibility. A vital listen for fans of jazz fusion and global musical exchange.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
