South African saxophonist/composer McCoy Mrubata will be performing in the USA with his colleague and friend Gary Wittner in 2026. A recent recipient of the South African Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the Kennedy Center International Arts Gold Medal, McCoy was a member of the legendary Hugh Masekela’s band in the 1990’s. Since then he has led his own groups, touring the African continent and Europe extensively.
Guitarist Gary Wittner has performed on 5 continents, representing the USA as a Kennedy Center Jazz Ambassador, Fulbright Specialist, and US Embassy Outreach Artist. Gary has performed with numerous jazz luminaries, and he also leads groups playing original instrumental and vocal jazz, latin and middle eastern music. He has released 7 CDs as a leader, and his book “Thelonious Monk for Guitar” has informed guitarists worldwide since its publication in 1999.
Gary is a music faculty member at the Univ. of S. Maine School of Music and Bowdoin College.
The McCoy Mrubata/Gary Wittner Duo was at the Hawthorne House in 2026.
