Dive into the vibrant world of jazz with Episode 879 of Neon Jazz. Kicking off with the multi-talented Benny Benack III, we'll explore music from his 2023 album Third Time's the Charm. Next, meet the dynamic young phenom Stella Cole, currently touring with Benny and recently lighting up the stage at Kansas City's Folly Theater in late October 2024. The episode flows into the timeless sounds of jazz greats like Janis Siegel, Rebecca Kilgore, and Cathy Segal-Garcia, before introducing a fresh track from Montana's own Naomi Moon Siegel. We also pay heartfelt tribute to baritone sax titan Claire Daly, who left us all too soon. To complete the journey, we revisit classics by Mary Lou Williams and Benny Goodman and cap things off with a Halloween treat from the fabulous Hannah Gill. Tune in and dig the jazz, my friends.
