🎙 Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. In this episode, we talk with Denver-based jazz pianist and composer Bob Schlesinger about his much-anticipated debut album as a leader, Falling From Earth, and his charmed life in music. Conceived in 2018, this project weathered the pandemic’s delays and has now emerged as a fully realized artistic statement.

The album features an all-star lineup including legendary guitarist Mike Stern, former Bill Evans bassist Eddie Gomez, in-demand drummer Billy Drummond, bassist Kevin Axt, drummer Steve Hass, and others. Bob shares insights on the creative process, the long journey to completion, and the collaborations that brought Falling From Earth to life. This is a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation you won’t want to miss.
