Kicking off the 875th episode of Neon Jazz, we dive into something special—fresh sounds from a deeply personal project with Orrin Evans at the helm of the Captain Black Big Band. He is delivering powerful tracks from his 2024 release Walk a Mile in My Shoe. From there, we pause to honor the late, great Benny Golson, who passed away on September 21, 2024, at the age of 95. Next up, we spotlight Kansas City's established star, Logan Richardson, with material off his visionary new album The Science of Superstition. It is a bold statement from one of jazz's brightest talents. Veterans like Suzanne Pittson, Michael Jefry Stevens, and Dred Scott also step up with stellar new releases, adding depth and experience to the mix. It doesn't stop there. Fresh faces like Jake Noble, Mike Casey, and Sarah Hanahan bring their own exciting contributions, keeping the future of jazz in good hands. We wrap up this hour with the elegance of Japanese-born, NYC-based pianist Miki Yamanaka, showcasing her immense talent. So, sit back, tune in, and let the jazz flow, my friends.
