In this 874th episode of Neon Jazz, we dive deep into the musical mastery of young bandleader Tracy Yang, whose talent takes center stage with a track from her upcoming 2024 album, Or, alongside her dynamic jazz orchestra. Then, we uncover new material from the late, legendary Wayne Shorter, keeping the spirit of his genius alive. Midway through the hour, Kansas City's powerhouse ensemble, OJT, brings the heat with a cut from their fresh 2024 release, Getting It Going.

We also showcase the impressive sounds of jazz heavyweights with new 2024 albums, including Ben Wolfe, Peter Bernstein, Wayne Escoffery, and Michael Wolff. And, the hour isn't complete without the sizzling chops of Godwin Louis and Stuart Mack. To wrap things up, we bring you a thrilling track from the legendary vibes master Terry Gibbs, featuring unreleased gems from his Dream Band lost tapes, just ahead of his monumental 100th birthday.

Get ready to dig into some irresistible jazz, my friends.
