We kick off the 913th episode of Neon Jazz with the rich, swinging sound of Kansas City violinist and bandleader Adam Galblum, leading his Hot Club KC ensemble. The show opens with the title track from his fresh 2025 release, Dream Dancing—a vibrant nod to vintage jazz with modern flair. From there, we stay rooted in the KC scene with standout cuts from some of the city's brightest voices—Eddie Moore, the electrifying All Night Trio led by Matt Villinger, and collaborations featuring Peter Schlamb and Hermon Mehari—all proving why Kansas City remains a beacon in the jazz world. We then glide into a mix of compelling new music from established heavyweights like Saul Dutch, Ryan Keberle, Thomas Fonnesbaek, and Joel Frahm, each offering their own unique stamp on today's jazz language. Adding a dose of vocal brilliance, we spotlight the stylings of Anaïs Reno and Jennifer Lee, before wrapping up the hour with a powerful finale from the ever-innovative Ibrahim Maalouf. Settle in and dig the jazz, my friends—this hour's got depth, soul, and swing.
