After taking time away to focus on her health, Kaleigh is doing great and ready to return to the music that inspires her and so many others. Starting Nov. 3, listeners can once again join her every Monday from 8 to 10 p.m. as she explores the vanguard of postmodern jazz from 1969 to today.

“I’m really excited to be coming back to Visions,” Kaleigh says. “It’s been a challenging recovery process, but knowing I’ll get to return to the airwaves and to my listeners is one of the things that kept me pushing through.”

Kaleigh’s perspective has always made Visions special. She created a space where listeners can hear jazz in new ways and connect through sound.

We’re also very grateful to Sam Beaubien, Liz Warner and Kim Heron for filling in during Kaleigh’s time away and keeping Visions on track.

Welcome back, Kaleigh. Monday nights just got wilder!

Listen to Visions on Monday nights from 8 to 10 p.m.
