Trumpeter Speaks to World at Zoo Concert
Kirk Douglas may seem
an unlikely musical influ­
ence foran African jazz mu­
sician, but the actor is the
one who first brought jazz,
great Hugh M asckclatothe
trum pet. A fter w atching
Douglas in "Young Man
with a H orn," M asekela
prom ptly sw itched from
piano, which he had been
playing as a boy, to trum ­
pet — and a legend began.
Hugh Masekela and his
South African big band per­
form Wednesday, Aug. I at
7 p.m. at the Oregon Zoo as
Trumpet legend Hug Masekela will bring his
part of the Wells Fargo Sum-
South
African big band to the Oregon Zoo for
merConccrt Series presented
a summer concert on Wednesday, Aug. 1.
by Fred Meyer.
"Masekela’sexuberant per­
sonality drives his perfor­
mances," says Krista Swan,
event coordinator. "He shines
whether he is playing the mu­
sic he is famous for, cracking
jokes about flirtatious women,
or talking more seriously about
the political situation in his
native Africa."
The trumpet and flugelhom
are how Masekela speaks to
the world. Masekela's music
reflects the changing influ­
ences in his life. Though his
music remains grounded in
jazz, it has included influences
from pop. Latin, mbaqanga,
hard-driving township and
Afrobeat.
