We begin the 721st Episode of Neon Jazz with the legendary bassist Rufus Reid with the song "Sweet Loraine." The jazz world lost an icon, a master and a friend in Dr. Lonnie Smith and we pay tribute to his life through song and an interview conducted with the show some years back. This hour is full of great tunes from the likes of Leon Lee Dorsey, Jakob Bro and Larry Fuller. There is new music out from the very talented Theo Croker and we spin that and some other surprises. Dig the jazz, my friends.
