Jazz on the Terrace: Morris Goldberg & SafroJazz with Diego Urcola & Bakithi Kumalo

July 16, 2021, 6 pm - 7:30 pm

We are pleased to partner with The Jam Session, Inc. as a venue for the first annual Hamptons Jazz Fest 2021 in presenting Morris Goldberg & SafroJazz with Diego Urcola & Bakithi Kumalo! The concert is being offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of The Jam Session, in collaboration with a major donor and life-long jazz enthusiast who celebrate this true American art form and the return of live music. You may also watch the livestream of the concert on our YouTube channel.

Morris Goldberg was born in Cape Town, South Africa. He came to New York to study at the Manhattan School of Music, where he received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Goldberg has worked and toured with Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, and Harry Belafonte, among many others. He recorded for Paul Simon on the Graceland album, playing soprano sax and the pennywhistle solo on “You Can Call Me Al”. He also served as the woodwind specialist on The Rosie O’Donnell Show for the six years. Every morning, the show would open with a shot of his Yamaha alto saxophone’s bell. In addition, he played for many artists including Tony Bennett and Phil Collins.

Goldberg formed his own group called Ojoyo, which specializes in South African flavored jazz – Safrojazz. The group has recorded three albums of original music, and played at many Jazz festivals and clubs throughout the United States with Hugh Masekela.

He teaches at the Ross School in East Hampton and performs throughout New York City and Long Island.
