Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Kansas City-based jazz violinist Adam Galblum of Hot Club KC. We last spoke with Adam back in 2019, and we’re thrilled to reconnect in 2025 to talk about his brand-new album Dream Dancing. With a fresh batch of performances at The Black Dolphin and a regular gig schedule around Kansas City, Adam continues to push boundaries with his blend of swing and modern acoustic jazz.

In this conversation, we dive into the making of Dream Dancing, the evolving language of jazz, why “gypsy jazz” is no longer the right term, and reflections on music in a complex world. It’s a timely and soulful exchange with one of KC’s most dynamic string players.
