From a seasoned jazz cat who keeps the flame burning bright, we kick off the 917th episode of Neon Jazz with the ever-inventive Dave Anderson, spinning tracks from his soulful new 2025 release, In Lieu of Flowers. It all starts with his sound—modern yet rooted—and a nod to where it all began: witnessing the legendary Sonny Rollins live in concert. That spark set the stage for a lifelong jazz journey. From there, we dive into a powerful mix of new releases by master veterans lighting up the summer—Roger Glenn, Greg Tardy, Steve Allee, Mike Freeman, and Sam Dillon—each delivering their own fresh chapters to the jazz canon. But it's not just about the vets—we also shine a well-deserved spotlight on rising stars Joshua Banks and Paloma Dineli Chesky, voices shaping the future of the genre with fire and finesse. And to close it out, we ride into the proverbial jazz sunset with the deeply expressive sounds of Jimmy Greene and his latest 2025 project As We Are Now. Dig into this rich, vibrant set of stories and sounds—it's a full-course jazz feast, my friends.
