Episode 909 of Neon Jazz ignites with brilliance—and it starts with a rising star lighting up the modern jazz sky: Isaiah J. Thompson. We dive into fresh, soul-stirring tracks from his powerful 2025 release, The Book of Isaiah—Modern Jazz Ministry, where faith, groove, and virtuosity collide. From there, it's a rich journey through the past and present of jazz. We revisit the legends—Gerry Mulligan, Miles Davis, Ben Webster, Max Roach, and Charles Mingus—through stunning remastered recordings that breathe new life into timeless classics. But that's just the beginning. We spotlight compelling new sounds from Michika Fukumori, Ben Sidran, Nicolas Ferron, and Mike Thompson—artists carving their own path through today's jazz landscape. And we close things out with the finely tuned strings of Vermont-based guitarist Dan Greenleaf, bringing it all home with taste and tone. From iconic echoes to bold new voices, this is jazz in all its glory. Dig in. Feel it. Live it.Playlist
