The Mark Lomax Quartet: “400: An Afrikan Epic”

Waterman Theatre 7060 NY-104, Oswego

“400: An Afrikan Epic” explores thousands of years of the history that is pre-colonial Afrika, the Ma’afa (the 400 years between 1619 and 2019), and Afro-futurism expressing a vision of what blacks in America will heal toward in the next 400 years; a healthy, high functioning, and united block of the African diaspora. The quartet is known to combine the fire and passion of John Coltrane’s legendary Classic Quartet of the 1960s with modern sensibilities, crafting a repertoire that includes spirituals, the works of jazz masters, original music and more. Cost is $5 for students to $20 for general admission. For more information, call (315) 312-4581.
