Trombone Shorty, Chick Corea & Nduduzo Makhathini

We start the 757th Episode of Neon Jazz with South African Blue Note Artist Nduduzo Makhathini with material off his new album In the Spirit of NTU. We continue with another South African jazz force, Dollar Brand, or better known as Abdullah Ibrahim. From there, we get into a New Orleans frame of mind with the Kansas City-based Back Alley Brass Band and new songs from Trombone Shorty. That leads us into a host of new songs from Take2, Jesse Palter and David Billingsley. In between, we hear classics from Chick Corea and Cliff Jackson. Finally, we finish things up with Bob Finley leading the orchestra.
