Info
At the Théâtre Antique de Vienne on July 7, 2026, Jazz à Vienne brings together De La Soul in a live band format and saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin for a hip‑hop evening with jazz resonances.
De La Soul, the Amityville trio and a defining presence in alternative hip‑hop, is revisiting its repertoire with a live ensemble. From 3 Feet High and Rising to Stakes Is High, their writing is built on soul, funk and pop samples, a taste for skits, and lyrics that have grown more reflective over the years. As members of the Native Tongues collective and regular collaborators—most notably with Gorillaz—Posdnuos and Maseo are continuing the group’s story today after Dave’s passing in 2023, performing material shaped for flow, groove and narrative.
Lakecia Benjamin, a New York–based alto saxophonist, blends a bop, funk and soul inheritance into a pulse‑driven jazz. Trained at The New School and seen alongside Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and The Roots, she asserts as a leader a group aesthetic—from Retox and Rise Up to her tribute to John and Alice Coltrane on Pursuance, later continued by Phoenix. On stage, her incisive playing, collective arrangements and openness to spoken word draw a natural bridge between contemporary jazz and hip‑hop culture.
