Spike Wilner, Avishai Cohen, Bobby West & Laura Anglade

We kick off the 912th episode of Neon Jazz with a fresh voice making waves—Laura Anglade, the enchanting singer blending deep French roots with a breezy American jazz flair, as we spin a track from her luminous 2025 album Get Out of Town. From there, it's a rich journey through the jazz landscape. We hear from the seasoned brilliance of Spike Wilner, Jim Self, Terry Waldo, and Kristen R. Bromley—veterans still crafting sounds that matter. We then slide into fresh grooves from modern luminaries like Avishai Cohen, Diane Marino, and the ever-creative Larry Goldings. Emerging talents aren't left out—Ben Tweedt brings compelling energy, while Jake Baldwin delivers a standout new release. We ride out in style with the rhythmic fire of Ali Bello and the Charanga Syndicate, sending us off into the jazz twilight. Dig the jazz, my friends.
