Judith Owens, Earl Bostic & Don Aliquo

From Nashville-based, Pittsburgh-bred saxophonist Don Aliquo, we kick off this new 793rd Episode of Neon Jazz with a song off his 2023 album Growth. From there, we listen to the artist who gave Don one of his most memorable performances when he was a lad in Arnie Lawrence. We also hear new music from Holly Burke, Judith Owen, Jane Irving and Dave Stryker. Pianist Emmet Cohen of pandemic sessions fame, is on the show with music from his 2022 release Uptown in Orbit. We bring it to a close with Steve Fidyk leading his Wire Broad Band with music off his album Red Beats. Enjoy the jazz, my friends.
