We begin the 758th Episode of Neon Jazz with an innovator combining elements of jazz and classical into his new album Jazzical—Komitas Pass of Fire by pianist Joel A. Martin. New music from vocalist Michele Thomas, percussionist Ches Smith and bassist Chris Mondak are explored further. Minneapolis-based Larry McDonough pays tribut to pianist Bill Evans. Finally, we hear new music from reed player Brian Landrus on an album where proceeds help "save the elephants." Dig the jazz, my friends.
