Turn it up—Episode 955 of Neon Jazz is bursting with flavor and fire. We kick things off with the great Lionel Cole—born into jazz royalty yet carving a bold, unmistakably personal path through the music. From there, we step into another powerful lineage with Tia Fuller, Shamie Royston, and the dynamic sound of Fuller Sound. Then it's on to seasoned masters delivering fresh heat—Dave Stryker drops his 2026 burner Blue Fire, recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio, alongside standout new work from Ben Flocks, Chris Parker, Jack Wood, and Chris Aschman. Along the way, we shine a light on rising voice Sam Robinson and the ever-impressive Tom Lippincott. And to close it out, we bring it home with something special—a rare, remastered live cut from Joe Henderson at the iconic The Jazz Showcase. Press play and let it ride. Dig the jazz, my friends.
