We kick off the 859th Episode of Neon Jazz with Zachary Finnegan, a rising star from Chicago and music from his debut album Guidance and Gratitude. From there, we dig into a musician who provided an early shot of inspiration for Zachary in Wayne Bergeron. Continuing on, we hear tasty new material from Maria Parker, Michael O'Neill, CeCe Gable and Amina Figarova. We also profile Jeff Shirley, a Kansas City-based guitarist with two 2024 albums. We also get in a new cut from star South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini. Finally, we wrap up this episode with a new supergroup called Something Else led by the great Vincent Herring. Dig the jazz, my friends.
