Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series featuring Grammy-nominated saxophonist Antonio Hart. We talk with him ahead of his upcoming performance at the legendary Flushing Town Hall in Queens, NY on Friday, June 20, 2025. Teaming up with acclaimed vocalist Antoinette Montague, this special show will celebrate jazz tradition while embracing bold improvisation and soulful expression.

Antonio Hart is widely regarded as one of the most compelling and versatile saxophonists of our time. With a powerful, lyrical tone and a command of jazz history, he leads his ensemble through a set that bridges classic and contemporary jazz. In this conversation, we explore the significance of the venue, the evolution of his sound, his visit to Kansas City, and the importance of keeping jazz alive through live performance.
