Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series .. On this episode, we talk with Prague-based Clairvoyant Master Healer & Mindful Energy Coach Djali Vesela .. Her  life is  a mission to help others to recognise what gifts energy and intuition bear and that feeling unwell can actually be a sign of a breakthrough we can benefit from.

She looked for answers to her energy ups and downs and inability to be here and now in stimulants like coffee, Guarana or Red Bull and calmers like alcohol and weed. And, with that she dug my hole even deeper. It was only when she started meditating, studying mindfulness and energy that her life started to make sense and be finally a happy one.

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with The Denmark Jazz Trio Kosmos Trio .. I caught up with all three members via Zoom to talk about their new 2022 CD as their debut recording, the history of the band and the future ahead .. In an era of ever-changing projects and ideas, the band stands out as a group who've carved out their own sound and space in the Nordic jazz scene at an impressively young age. Initially inspired by the likes of Avishai Cohen, the trio's early days were spent exploring the complexities of odd meter which can clearly be heard in their compositional style.

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with NYC-based Jazz Saxophonist Owen Broder on the 2022 CD Hodges: Front and Center Volume 1 .. We cover the the release of this album, COVID life, the overall jazz community and much more .. As influential as he's been on the history of the jazz saxophone, Johnny Hodges is usually discussed wholly in light of his key role in the Duke Ellington Orchestra. On this new album, Owen shifts the spotlight to focus more intently on the legendary altoist. Due out October 14, 2022 via Outside In Music, this album represents a new horizon and world to explore as live music begins and the world is anew.

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Veteran Jazz Drummer, Pianist, Composer & Educator Gary Husband ..He talked about his new 2022 CD with The Trackers called Vaudeville 8:45 .. He is indeed a rare breed of musicians in that his expression is divided equally in his capacity as a drummer and a pianist and keyboardist of international repute. His classical roots, his quest and development in the improvisational, jazz and jazz/fusion areas – not to mention his tenure in the pop, rock, funk and blues circuits – are all evident inside Gary's distinct and far-reaching musical personality and has evolved over his four decades of quality work ..
