We kick off the 788th Episode of Neon Jazz with vibraphonist and Kansas City native Mike Dillon and Punkadelic with music off their 2023 album Inflorescence. We follow that with Punkadelic member Brian Haas of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and their take on The Beatles "Julia" from their last studio album Winterwood Revealed. From there, we dig into new projects from Ben Wolfe, Chris Dingman, Jay Lawrence and Sam Taylor. We also shine a good light on The Godfather of San Diego jazz, Gilbert Castellanos and his album Esperame En El Cielo. Finally, we say goodbye to the mighty Jeff Beck by way of a 2011 song he did with Trombone Shorty. Dig the jazz, my friends.
