From the electric grooves of Simon Paterson's Electric Gumbo, we launch into the 910th episode of Neon Jazz with a jolt of fresh energy from his 2025 release It's On. The journey continues with a soul-stirring, newly unearthed gem from the legendary Roy Hargrove, featured on the posthumous album Grande-Terre—a timeless reminder of his genius. We ride that momentum into vibrant new sounds from Eric Sieveveld, Steve Davis, Daniel DeLorenzo, and the ever-brilliant Jazzmeia Horn. Guitarist Daniel DeLorenzo delivers fresh fire with his latest, while the iconic pairing of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bill Charlap returns with musical magic only they can conjure. To honor the roots, we dip into reissues from masters Mal Waldron and Thelonious Monk—bridging the classic and the contemporary in true Neon Jazz fashion. And as we close out the hour, we groove into the future with the unmistakable talent of Greg Murphy, playing from his 2025 album Snap Happy. Dig the jazz, my friends. The sound is alive.
