Celebrate the music and legacy of the Jazz Epistles on Sunday, April 29 in the Zellerbach Theatre, Annenberg Center. Featuring original member and pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and special guest trumpeter Keyon Harrold, they explore the sounds and impact of the Jazz Epistles, South Africa’s earliest and most influential jazz bebop band. The performance will include music from the seminal Jazz Epistles recording as well as hits from Ibrahim’s illustrious career.

This performance originally featured South African music legend Hugh Masekela, who passed away in January. Mr. Masekela graced the Zellerbach Theatre stage many times, just as recently as February 2015. Each sold-out performance featured his joyful spirit and spectacular blend of South African traditions and jazz, inspiring generations of dedicated fans.
