Joe Lovano, Kandace Springs, Beatle Jazz & Patrick Zimmerli

Click the play button to listen

Kicking off the 907th episode of Neon Jazz, we dive into the brilliant mind of composer, innovator, and jazz visionary Patrick Zimmerli, spinning tracks from his bold new 2025 release, Songs of Innocence. From there, it's a sonic journey through the freshest corners of modern jazz—featuring new gems from heavy hitters like Marina Pacowski, Michael Waldrop, Pete McGuiness, Joe Lovano, and the ever-soulful Kandace Springs. We spotlight a boundary-pushing debut from drummer Chris Smith, blending unexpected influences in a head-turning project titled Jazz Grunge. Rising talent Adrian Galante brings finesse and fire to the mix, while the unique stylings of Beatle Jazz offer a playful twist. We close out the hour with a rich, reflective solo piano moment from Kansas City's own E.E. Pointer. So lean in, turn it up, and dig the jazz, my friends.
