Bill Cunliffe, Arturo Sandoval & Melissa Errico

The multi-talented jazz singer and Broadway actress Melissa Errico begins the 767th Episode of Neon Jazz with a song off her 2022 release Out of the Dark; The Film Noir Project. From there, we glide into Gene Krupa and hear a host of new songs from artists that keep making 2022 a tasty year of jazz listening including Margaret Slovak, Brian Grace and Peter Kogan. In between, we get some vintage tracks from Pat Metheny, Arturo Sandoval and Bill Cunliffe. We wrap the episode up with a new music from the mighty Doug MacDonald. Enjoy the jazz, my friends.
