Pianist of lyricist Ben Sidran begins the 763rd Episode of Neon Jazz with a song off his beautiful new album Swing State. It just so happens that he was the 2,000th full interview for the program. Following Ben's take on "Tuxedo Junction," we hear Erskine Hawkins's version. From there, we present a nice crop of music from Ariane Racicot and Alex Lakusta. We also hear new material from master drummer Michael Carvin and the organist Brian Charette. Classic tunes from Oscar Peterson and Benny Goodman are also front and center. Enjoy the jazz, my friends.
