        On behalf of myself and my family, we offer our condolences to the Masekela family. He was a great musician and my parents favorite trumpet player right after Miles Davis.

        Whaaat?. Shocking!. I have various electrifying collections of this guy both in life performances and studio recordings. He remains the jazz maestro that the world has ever produced. R.I.P legend Hugh Masekela.
