Swinging, singing, and grazing in the grass: This week’s jazz picks
By Pamela Espeland | Published Fri, Oct 15 2010 7:00 am
Wednesday and Thursday: Hugh Masekela. Everybody knows his zillion-selling hit from the 60s, “Grazing in the Grass.” But if that’s all you’ve heard of South African jazz/world fusion/Afrobeat master Hugh Masekela, you’re missing out. (It’s kind of like pigeonholing Bobby McFerrin as the guy who sang “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.”) Singer, trumpeter, flugelhornist, and activist, Masekela has performed with Miriam Makeba (they were once married), Fela Kuti, the Crusaders, and Herb Alpert, among countless others; he was part of Paul Simon’s “Graceland” tour in the 80s. Here’s another Masekela hit, “Coal Train.” 7 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 20-21, Dakota, 1010 Nicollet Mall, 612-332-5299 ($45/$30). Tickets at 612-332-5299 or online. 10/15/10 >> go there
