Our 732nd hour of Neon Jazz arrives right before Christmas and is the penultimate for 2021. The most fitting musician for this episode is the mighty veteran trombonist Ron Wilkins. He survived a nasty bout with COVID and reigned on the top of the charts with a wonderful new album Trombcalist. He's the resounding testament to the strength of music in these modern 2021 times. We also hear new tunes from Helen Sung, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, Lorraine Feather, Roland Tempelaar and the combo of Jane Ira Bloom and Allison Miller. There are some classics sprinkled throughout. Enjoy the jazz, my friends.
