He was scheduled to play in
He was scheduled to play in San Francisco next month as part of the African jazz group Jazz Epistles that he formed in the late '50s with Abdullah Ibrahim, but I noticed the other day that he had been replaced on the bill by Wadada Leo Smith. Now I know why.
I saw Masekela once in the late '80s at the Berkeley Greek, a show that also featured sets by John McLaughlin & Miles Davis. I must say I was underwhelmed with his performance that night so I never saw him again, but he was clearly a legendary player in the jazz world.
On it goes.

I don't remember seeing him there, but surely could have. There's a lot I don't remember from that weekend and I missed some people.
