Bio:
Luigi Inc is a jazz combo located in Omaha, Nebraska. The band was founded by late jazz great Luigi Waites around 1976 and started their historic string of weekly performances at Mr. Toad in Omaha's Old Market area in 1978.
​
Fast Forward to today, Luigi Inc is still providing great music to our longtime fans and eager new listeners. We pride ourselves on offering a variety of music to our audiences. From the standard Jazz favorites as written by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and Thelonius Monk to the music of Jeff Beck, Beatles, Roy Hargrove and others , you can be sure we will find the right mixture of music to fit any mood while staying true to that Luigi Inc sound!
