Details
After her astonishing, high-energy DACAMERA debut at Miller Outdoor Theatre, DACAMERA couldn’t wait for Lakecia Benjamin – the 2024 JJA Jazz Awards Alto Saxophonist of the Year – to make her first jazz series appearance!
This dynamic alto saxophonist fuses traditional conceptions of jazz, hip hop and soul. With three Grammy Award nominations for her most recent recording Phoenix — for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Best Instrumental Composition and Best Jazz Performance — Lakecia Benjamin is taking the jazz world by storm. “The wide sense of adventure on Phoenix,” says All Music, “reveals Benjamin as ambitious as she is focused, energetic and perceptive.”
