Ed Palermo, Planet D Nonet, Herbie Hancock & Don Byas

Click the play button to listen

In celebration of Con Chapman's freshly minted 2025 release Sax Expat, we crack open the 905th episode of Neon Jazz with the timeless tones of Don Byas, taking us back to a smoky stop in 1944. It's the perfect prologue to a show steeped in innovation, homage, and the ever-expanding universe of jazz. From there, we launch into a stellar array of new sounds from the ever-inventive Ed Palermo, the deep and thoughtful Dave Bass, the groove-rich Quinn Sternberg, and the velvety vocals of Judy Whitmore. But we're not done yet—this ride includes sharp-shooting collectives like Detroit's fiery Planet D Nonet and the cosmic explorations of The Quantum Blues Quartet, featuring none other than the legendary Paul Shaffer. Things get delightfully strange with "Monk is Drunk," a quirky, brilliant offering from Chicago's own Joanie Pallatto and Bradley Parker-Sparrow—jazz with a wink and a wild edge. And to close it out, in reverence to International Jazz Day, we land in 1968 with the master himself—Herbie Hancock, and a cut from his lush, lyrical Speak Like a Child LP. So tune in, turn it up, and dig the jazz, my friends—this one's got spirit, swing, and surprises at every turn.
