Jazz legends Herbie Hancock and Dianne Reeves accompanied by the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz Performance at UCLA Ensemble, will be visiting New Delhi and Mumbai from January 14-25. Their performances and master classes with students will be dedicated to celebrating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The highlight of their visit will be a special concert in New Delhi on January 15, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the US Embassy in India said in a press release.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day, observed annually on the third Monday of January in the United States, honors the life and accomplishments of the famed civil rights leader. King`s pivotal role in the American civil rights movement, advocating for racial equality, justice, and togetherness, is a sobering reminder on this federal holiday.
