Neon Jazz's New Year's Eve show kicks off with drummer Xaver Hellmeier and is followed by music from his mentor, Joe Farnsworth. We also spin new music from the likes of Hiromi, David Lopato, Jim Piela and Dylan Jazz. In between, we hear from masters including Erroll Garner, Julius Hemphill, Herbie Hancock and The Modern Jazz Quartet. We bring the hour to a solid close with Reggie Quinerly and music from The Thousandth Scholar. Dig the jazz, my friends.
