Mother Africa: Celebrating African Jazz at Lincoln Center
This episode explores the opening of Mother Africa, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2025–26 season, celebrating South African Jazz and the African diaspora that brought it to life. Elizabeth Howard is in conversation with Seton Hawkins, the Director of Public Programs and Educational Resources at Jazz at Lincoln Center. He is a jazz advocate, educator, and producer with a specific focus on South Africa. Seton is joined by Marcus Printup, who plays trumpet in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and contributes regularly to the orchestra as an arranger and composer. He has recorded with many jazz legends. The story of jazz in Africa reflects the weight of resistance, identity, and hope and are expressions of the South African experience, resonating with themes of struggle, mourning and resilience.
