We launch into the 890th episode of Neon Jazz with a bang, featuring the remarkable Holman Alvarez and the title track from his 2024 album, Hidden Objects. From there, the journey unfolds with a dynamic lineup of fresh sounds: George Colligan and his band Theoretical Planets bring their bold brilliance, Honolulu's Groovology grooves with swinging flair, and the incomparable poet and musician Don Paul delivers magic with his Rivers Answer Moons ensemble. As we step further into 2025, we spotlight exciting new releases from the Carn Davidson 9, Igor Willcox, Steve Sieck, Jefry Kalaf, and Yulia Musayelyan, each showcasing jazz at its most innovative. Finally, we close the hour with the masterful Joe Elefante and his transcendent Wheel of Dharma. Stay tuned and let the jazz move you, my friends.
