Welcome to the 906th electrifying edition of Neon Jazz! We kick things off with the mesmerizing harpist Brandee Younger and the title track from her much-anticipated 2025 album Gadabout Season. From there, we dive into a powerful new release from the legendary Count Basie Orchestra featuring the dynamic Deborah Silver—a fitting tribute to their unforgettable International Jazz Day performance in Kansas City. But the grooves don't stop there. We showcase fresh, genre- pushing sounds from rising and seasoned talents like Billy Mohler, Michael McClintock, Jamie Shew, and Brandon Woody—artists who are each redefining jazz in their own bold ways. And to close it all out? A sonic masterclass from the always-brilliant Joel Harrison. It's a journey through jazz you don't want to miss. Dig the jazz, my friends.
