We begin the 822nd episode of Neon Jazz with Canadian trombonist Audrey Ochoa and music from her 2023 album The Head of a Mouse. From there, we hear from the legendary Melba Liston. As the hour continues, we dig into new music from Joe Alterman, Chris Lee, Andrew Rathbun and Kelly Jefferson. In between, we drop Mose Allison, Phil Markowitz, Les McCann and Dexter Gordon. It all comes to a close with the late Joey DeFrancesco. Dig the jazz, my friends.
