About

Charismatic saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin presents her new album Pursuance: The Coltranes. A cohesive walk through the lineage of the jazz artform, Benjamin’s third full-length release as a leader pays homage to John and Alice Coltrane. The album brings timeless compositions of the Coltranes into the present day. ‘Alto saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin plays jazz sprinkled with the rich flavours of funk and soul—she’s a crafty traditionalist who remains in step with the rhythms of the young generation’ (New Yorker) Lakecia Benjamin : alto saxophone Zaccai Curtis : piano Lonnie Plaxico : double bass EJ Strickland: drums
