On this special Christmas Day episode of Neon Jazz, we're unwrapping an hour dedicated to the true masters of the vibraphone—those incredible artists who made this instrument sing like no other. This celebration was sparked by an unforgettable performance by the brilliant Warren Wolf at The Blue Room, nestled in the historic 18th and Vine district of Kansas City, MO. We kick things off with Warren Wolf's "Saturn's Child" from his 2024 masterpiece History of the Vibraphone. From there, the hour takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the work of legends like Terry Gibbs, Lionel Hampton, Bobby Hutcherson, Cal Tjader, Milt Jackson, Victor Feldman, and Red Norvo. But the vibes don't stop there—living greats like Joe Locke and Chuck Redd also grace this set. There's no better jazz gift than celebrating the magic of the vibes this holiday season. So, tune in, immerse yourself, and let this hour of pure vibraphone brilliance set the perfect groove for your Jazzidays.
