Hugh Masekela and Larry Willis at RNCM, Concert Hall

About

A rare opportunity to experience the intimate side of South African maestro Hugh Masekela, in a sumptuously lyrical series of duets with master pianist Larry Willis, revisiting a long friendship stretching back to their days together at college in New York in the 60s. Their release Friends (‘damn do they swing’ **** Rolling Stone) is a masterpiece of chamber jazz combined with the sheer exuberance of the Masekela style.
