Pat Metheny, Howard Britz & Charles Goold

We start the 751st Episode of Neon Jazz with a relatively new musician that has seen a lot of action in his young life. Drummer Charles Goold kicks things off with a song off his 2022 album Rhythm in Contrast. We also take a look into some new music from veterans of the jazz world in Howard Britz, Gary Brumburgh, Ron Ledoux and Tom Keenlyside. We also include Esther Phillips in the mix and end with Dave Brubeck's classic tune "Strange Meadowlark." Dig the music, my friends.
