From a celebrated veteran musician and author from Denmark, we begin the 861st Episode of Neon Jazz with Benjamin Koppel and music from his 2023 album White Busses. From here, we get into a legend Benjamin spent quality time with in Phil Woods. As the hour ensues, we hear great new music from Ray Brown, Jo Harrop, Jon De Lucia and Anthony Branker. In between, we hear from new players including Alexa Torres and Emiliano Lasansky. Finally, we bring it all together with music from the Pat Metheny Trio. Dig this jazz, my friends.
