On Saturday, June 5th, 2004 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with jazz trumpet legend HUGH MASEKELA.

Hugh Masekela is the father of African jazz and is South Africa's musical ambassador to the world. His trumpet has been an instrument of resistance, a call to freedom and a celebration of the resilience of his people. His powerful blend of jazz, funk and afro-beat has mourned the tragedy of apartheid and rejoiced at its demise.

Hugh Masekela is a worldwide superstar and has released over 30 albums. He is a globally renowned trumpeter, who has performed with artists ranging from Louis Armstrong to Paul Simon, Adrian Belew and The Byrds. Hugh was instrumental in the conception of the Broadway smash musical "Sarafina."
Masekela’s fans will be happy to hear, Time, Hugh's first new material in three years. Time is a magnificent and delightful journey for jazz fans... a wonderful album combing African, Latin and South American rhythms. Eleven stellar new tracks focusing on love, peace and relationships are all highlighted by Hugh's beautifully gritty voice and his unbelievable trumpet.

Tickets for this performance are $37.50 ($28.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.
