From one of the finest guitarists in the world of jazz, we start the 712th Episode of Neon Jazz with Greg Skaff and the title track off his 2021 album Polaris. Witha focus on new releases we present Eric Goletz, Greg Smith and Falkner Evans. The Denver super group The Jazz Worms is also a part of this new music mix. We finish the show with a gem from Hailu Mergia off a 1975 re-issue of his album Tezeta/ Dig it.
