Welcome to the 896th episode of Neon Jazz, where the groove never stops! We kick things off with the electrifying Jonah David, spinning a fresh cut from his highly anticipated 2025 album, Waltz for Eli. Then, we take a time-traveling leap back to 1955 for a sizzling classic—Frank Morgan's fiery rendition of "The Champ." This hour is stacked with groundbreaking sounds, featuring the bold innovations of Okonski, The Offline, and the John Lindvall Trio. Plus, we dive into fresh magic from the incomparable Jon Batiste as he reimagines the iconic "Saturday Night Live" theme. As the rhythm keeps rolling, expect stellar new music from Nick Hempton alongside Cory Weed, Tobias Meinhart, Ron Ledoux, and Brent Jarvis. We also take a heartfelt moment to honor the late, great Jack Mouse—an extraordinary drummer from Emporia, Kansas—whose impact on jazz will never fade. And to bring it all home, we close out with the ever-evolving Darryl Yokley and his powerhouse group, Sound Reformation. So, lean in, turn it up, and dig the jazz, my friends!Playlist
