We begin the 849th episode of Neon Jazz with Miles Davis to commemorate the book 3 Shades of Blue by James Kaplan. The book examines the phenomena of the iconic Kind of Blue album. From there, we hear Bill Evans and Jim Hall with music from Undercurrent (1962). We get a good dose of new tunes from Spike Wilner, Ken Peplowski and Danette McMahon. In between, we hear Rufus Reid and Eddie Harris. We close the show with Melissa Aldana and music from her Wayne Shorter tribute album. Dig the jazz, my friends.
