This performance will include many local luminaries, and will be a tribute to an era of music-making that innovated the use of electronics, free-improvisation, world music, and creative composition; an era that has influenced the work of many of today's musicians. Set 1 will be Crossings, and Set 2 will be Mwandishi. Don't miss this special event.
