Aided by an ensemble cast of jazz musicians new and old, Lakecia Benjamin recorded the entirety of her new album 'Pursuance: The Coltranes' in two days.

Some exciting news on the local live Jazz scene: Saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin will perform at Jazz on the Green in Omaha on August 11th! Her CD from last year, Pursuance: The Coltranes was a revelation of inspired music and profound artistry. Benjamin will bring her band to Jazz on the Green on Thursday night, August 11th to perform selections from that CD. Admission is free. More information is on our Jazz Calendar page on this website. Additionally, an interview with Lakecia Benjamin will be posted to the KIOS website this week!

We also have articles this month on Theo Croker and Grachan Moncur III for your viewing pleasure.

The Last Call comes your way 9-11pm Saturdays on KIOS-FM and streaming to where you are via this website.

Thanks for listening & stay cool!
