Been up to my eyeballs the last week or so, and not really had the time to post, but just thought that I would pay homage to a jazz legend that I had the opportunity to meet and photograph yesterday, Hugh Masekela, along with the younger and hugely influential artist Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

Masekela has been celebrating his 70th birthday for the last eight months, and will be giving a concert with the LSO at the Barbican tonight.

Will.i.am as well as being the frontman of the Black Eyed Peas is arguably one of the music industry’s most sought after producers, and has collaborated with many of the greatest names in music, including Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, to name a few. Apparently he was going to spend some of today with Mick Jagger – it’ll be interesting to see where that might lead creatively.
