Hugh Masekela Debuts Fall North American Tour 10/15
by BWW News Desk - Oct 15, 2010

Louis Armstrong sent him a trumpet. Harry Belafonte arranged for him to come to New York City to study music. Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis took him under their wings.

His uncategorizable sound comes to life on his October 2010 North American tour.
