Jazz icons reunite on stage
They will collaborate in a much anticipated never been experienced before grand finale
LEGENDARY jazz icons, Abdullah Ibrahim and Hugh Masekela, will each perform their individual sets on stage at Emperors Palace on June 15 and 16, and then collaborate in a much anticipated never been experienced before grand finale.
After years in exile it is only now, for the first time in 60 years, that these two iconic jazz instrumentalists, icons and South African global jazz ambassadors, will reunite and perform on one stage.
In solidarity and recognition of all those who were part of the historical 1976 youth march, the Jazz Epistles are reuniting to celebrate the 40th anniversary of June 16.
The Jazz Epistles were South Africa’s earliest most influential Jazz (bebop) band. This was an all-black, all esteemed band of young, swaggered men consisting of these world-famous names.
Their music filled the dusty streets of the townships and fired the hearts of the youth who were adamant to stand-up for a South Africa that is free and fair. The electric high-life of the Jazz Epistles was short-lived after a group spat.
Tickets are available at Ticketpro and range from R400 up to R3 500 for hospitality package, including accommodation.
Tickets can be purchased through the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213, or by visiting www.emperorspalace.com or www.ticketpro.co.za.
