Organisers of the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, T Musicman have unfortunately announced that the legendary Bra Hugh Masekela will be unable to perform at this year’s three-day spectacle.

Following an emergency medical procedure on his left eye, which took place on Friday, 15 September, Bra Hugh’s doctors have ordered an extended rest period and a calm environment for post-treatment healing.

This includes no performances, public engagements or extensive travel until the end of October this year.

Peter Tladi, who is the CEO of T. Musicman said: “We are obviously disappointed that Bra Hugh is unable to be part of this year’s line-up, but of course his health takes priority.

“Bra Hugh’s old friend Roy Ayers will perform in his place, and we all wish him a strong and speedy recovery.”

The 2017 edition of the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Festival marks its 20th anniversary.
