Kicking off the 916th episode of Neon Jazz, we dive straight into the deep end of excellence with a powerhouse pairing—jazz royalty Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bill Charlap—serving up fresh brilliance from their 2025 release, Elementa. From there, the journey gets bold and unpredictable, featuring fearless new sounds from Emile Londoner, Mary Halvorson, John Sturino, Michael Andeew, and Tim Jago. We turn the spotlight on some hometown soul with Kansas City's The Freedom Affair, and venture to Portland for a dose of eclectic groove with Mike Prigodich. Wrapping up the hour in style, we drift out on a cosmic note with a gorgeous track from The Circling Sun. So lean in, turn it up, and let the jazz take you somewhere new. Dig it, my friends.
