    Bandmates of the Chicago Jazz Collective IRIS

    Bandmates of the Chicago Jazz Collective IRIS

    Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz series .. On this episode, we talk with Bandmates of the Chicago Jazz Collective IRIS .. We get into the history of this band, their new album and much more with members of this band that includes: Arman Sangalang on tenor saxophone, Kirby Fellis on trombone, Austyn Menk on piano, Morgan Turner on bass and Paul Barrilles on drums & cymbals. The group was born out of five peers’ mutual desire to fuse jazz’s historic subgenres, such as hard bop and post bop, with a modern aesthetic. Described in the album’s liner notes by guitar virtuoso Bobby Broom as “a beautiful representation of jazz music in its current attire,” the album allows each member of the collective to shine individually through carefully crafted compositions and solos. We get into all of this and much more. Dig in.

At the time, Jerrom was working on a deeply personal composition defying the stigma and taboo surrounding pregnancy loss. We cover some solid ground. Enjoy.

M-in-Denver ,

Fantastic podcast and host!

I had the honor of being a guest with Joe and this podcast and I have to say it was the most fun I have had yet! Great questions and conversations on and off the main topic. Everything just flowed!

Story Power ,

Talking With Joe!

I went into the interview not knowing what Joe was going to ask me. And actually, I prefer it that way. Having to think quickly on the spot usually leads to honest and pure responses, and sometimes my answers even surprise myself! Joe's questions made me have to look inside myself as when he asked what perception did I think other people had of me. Hmmm, that was a new one! Joe is an attentive listener and is proficient at basing questions on the information I gave him. He is knowledgeable, funny and easygoing, a poet among other things and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him.

Stay Hall ,

Host Focused on YOU

Simply amazing, makes you feel so important and really digs into how life works!!!
