Last Call to present new music on February 5th

Saturday's Last Call will feature new music from today's jazz artists. The spotlight will be on an adventuresome jazz band, Pluto Juice. Lead by saxophonist Dayna Stephens, the band explores cosmic, groove oriented jazz on its latest release.

Other artists on tap for Saturday's show include releases from bassist John Hebert, trombonist Eric Goletz, and saxophonist Collin Sherman, in addition to classic music from Cannonball Adderley and Weather Report.

The Last Call can be heard 9-11pm Saturday nights on KIOS-FM and on the web at www.kios.org

Chris Cooke has been a voice on radio in Omaha since 1988. While at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, he studied radio broadcasting, history and religion. Working at KVNO-FM, Cooke hosted a weekend adventuresome jazz show on the station in addition to duties as an on-air announcer on overnights, weekends and holidays. He also worked at KBLZ (the then student-run radio station) as well as KYNE-TV, and The Gateway as a reporter.
In November 1992, Cooke signed on at KIOS-FM and has been there ever since. He has hosted the Tuesday and Thursday editions of Jazz in the Afternoon since 1996 and has also hosted Last Call since that year. A long time fan of jazz music, Cooke enjoys talking with the musicians who make jazz music. He has interviewed Horace Silver, Roy Haynes, Wayne Shorter, David Liebman, Airto Moreira, Jessica Williams and Karrin Allyson, to name a few. While not at the station Cooke maintains a web design consultancy business that has served a number of non-profit and music clients for over 20 years.
