Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with jazz drummer Bobby Wiens on his 2026 album, Live at Dazzle.
Recorded on May 31, 2026, before a sold-out crowd at Dazzle Denver, this spirited performance captures a special night with some of Denver's finest jazz musicians. With only a few stage microphones needed to capture the music, the album delivers an intimate, authentic snapshot of four musicians who genuinely love playing together.
The project primarily features original compositions from Bobby's previous studio album, Focus, and reunites the same outstanding band: Gabriel Mervine on trumpet, Tom Amend on piano and Seth Lewis on bass. Bobby's brother, Derek Wiens, joins the group on guitar as a special guest.
We get into the story behind this live recording, the chemistry of the band, the music and the experience of capturing an unforgettable performance at one of Denver's favorite jazz venues.
It's great to have Bobby back on Neon Jazz. Dig this interview!
