A soulful blend of South African and American jazz. Power to Mr Wynton Marsalis and these great musicians... past and present! The concert evokes fond memories of one's youthful defiance in the face of apartheid South Africa.

What an evocative concert😭 This is a beautiful display of our South Africa music and heritage❤❤

Thanks Winton for honouring the black young artists/musicians of South Africa. There's a lot of music in South Africa that's not been thoroughly explored, most of it influenced by black music in America. There's also traditional rural influenced music that's never been heard in the world. I home more is coming for this series in the Lincoln Jazz Centre.

Man, this is great, especially for us South African for a jazz giant like Wynton to recognise our jazzmen.

[@zephaniarutlokwana2891]

There is great jazz work being carried out by South Africans over the years of apartheid hardship which has been a beacon of hope to many South Africans to the extent that it has been recognized by such a great musician, Winston Marsalis and his co musicians from Lincoln. This will inspire a lot of young South Africans to take Jazz with the seriousness it deserves. In hard times jazz becomes a religion that uplifts the spirits of those who are in pain. lt brings joy and happiness in the midst of whatever struggle. Thank you Mr Marsalis and you Lincoln big band.

...I wonder how much time the much-travelled Wynton Marsalis has spent in the entire Africa?
