UK Multi-Instrumentalist & Composer Eddie Parker on Airborn, Rob Luft & a Life in Eclectic Jazz

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with UK-based Jazz Flutist, Multi-Instrumentalist & Composer Eddie Parker.

We dive into his new 2026 album, Airborn, created with acclaimed guitarist Rob Luft, while exploring Eddie's remarkable life and career across the world of music.

Eddie Parker has built a career around curiosity, collaboration, experimentation, and an openness to musical possibilities. Along the way, he has worked with future musical luminaries including Django Bates and became widely recognized for his work in the 1990s with South African piano genius Bheki Mseleku.

He is also a regular member of the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, while his Debussy Mirrored Ensemble has more recently gained attention for its distinctive compositions and performances.

Eddie describes himself as a qualified “eclectician” — a perfect description for a musician whose influences stretch across genres and generations. From Schoenberg to Santana and far beyond, Eddie explores a vast musical landscape while treating each influence with respect and transforming it through his own unmistakable voice.

In this conversation, we get into Airborn, working with Rob Luft, his collaborations with some of the most adventurous musicians of his generation, the evolution of his sound, the Debussy Mirrored Ensemble, the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, and a lifetime spent exploring the endless possibilities of music.

Jazz, classical, fusion, electronic music, improvisation, composition, collaboration — Eddie Parker has traveled through it all.

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Ukraine-born, NYC-based Jazz Guitarist George Grydkovets.

We take a deep dive into his powerful new 2026 album, Spirit In You, and the remarkable journey that has brought him into the heart of the New York jazz scene.

Featuring an all-star band of NYC musicians including John Raymond on trumpet, Ari Hoenig on drums, Ben Tiberio on bass, and Eden Ladin on keyboards, Spirit In You was produced by acclaimed guitarist Gilad Hekselman. The music reflects George's New York experience — the sounds he has heard, the people he has met, and his longing for home — while exploring the profound contrast of building a life in safety as his hometown in Ukraine remains under attack.

Set for release on September 18, 2026, Spirit In You is deeply connected to George's experiences, dreams, identity, and search for a life-affirming spirit through uncertain times.

In this conversation, we talk about his move from Ukraine to America, studying at The New School, the impact of COVID, finding his voice as a jazz guitarist, his dreams for the future, performing live, the making of Spirit In You, and so much more.

From Ukraine to New York City, George Grydkovets' story is one of music, movement, resilience, discovery, and the search for home.

Consultant, Speaker & Founder TJ Holloway on Leadership, Emotional Intelligence & the MADE System

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Leadership Consultant, Keynote Speaker & Founder of The Holloway Group TJ Holloway.

Over his career, TJ Holloway has helped thousands of leaders and professionals across the United States and Canada build stronger teams, improve communication, and develop the leadership skills needed to create lasting organizational success.

But TJ challenges a common assumption about leadership development: today's organizations may not be suffering from a lack of training — they may be suffering from a lack of development.

While traditional training often focuses on teaching people what to do, TJ focuses on developing the character skills that determine how people actually lead: accountability, emotional intelligence, adaptability, integrity, and self-leadership.

As the creator of the MADE System, TJ gives leaders a practical framework for turning personal growth into stronger leadership, healthier workplace cultures, better communication, and more effective teams.

In this conversation, we get into TJ's whole story — leadership development, organizational culture, emotional intelligence, accountability, adaptability, integrity, self-leadership, communication, personal growth, and why meaningful leadership begins with developing the person behind the position.

What happens when we stop asking, “What leadership training do people need?” and start asking, “Who do they need to become?”

TJ Holloway brings a thoughtful and practical perspective to that question.

Author & Lawyer McCracken Poston Jr. on The Zenith Man, Alvin Ridley & Shocking Georgia Case

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Former Georgia Politician, Decorated Criminal Defense Lawyer & Author McCracken King Poston Jr.

Born and raised in Northwest Georgia, Poston served four terms in the Georgia House of Representatives before returning to his legal career. His life and career took an extraordinary turn when he found himself representing Alvin “The Zenith Man” Ridley, a reclusive Ringgold, Georgia television repairman accused of holding his wife captive for decades before her death.

What followed became one of the most unusual criminal cases in Georgia history — and ultimately the story behind Poston’s book, Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom. Poston’s account explores the case, the people involved, the courtroom battle, and the revelations that challenged what the community thought it knew about Alvin Ridley.

Years after the trial, Ridley was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, adding another layer to a story about misunderstanding, perception, justice, and the ways people can be judged when their lives and behavior don't fit conventional expectations.

In this conversation, we get into the whole story — Poston’s political career, his legal journey, the strange and unforgettable Alvin Ridley case, the courtroom defense, the Ringgold community, the revelations surrounding the case, autism and the legal system, and why this story stayed with Poston long after the trial ended.

It's a remarkable story of crime, law, community, friendship, misunderstanding, and redemption — told by the attorney who was there.

With nearly 20 years of experience across education, leadership development, and organization development, Yolanda Fraction helps leaders look beyond surface-level culture fixes and examine something deeper: how work is actually designed.

Professor, Scholar & Founder Dustin Shepherd on Leadership, Trust, Decision-Making & 29 Years in the U.S. Army

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major, Executive Leadership Professor, Scholar & Founder Dustin Shepherd.

After 29 years leading soldiers through complex operational environments and earning 2 Bronze Stars, Dustin Shepherd began a new chapter in higher education, where he teaches executive leadership, studies human behavior, and explores how trust, perception, and decision-making shape individuals and organizations.

As the Founder of Polaris Leadership Academy and Tranquility Ocean Adventures, Dustin is on a mission to make a difference. His work draws from decades of military leadership, combat deployments, executive leadership roles, academic research, and experiences working with trauma survivors and their families.

In this conversation, Dustin challenges the way we think about leadership and organizational problems, exploring why some of the biggest challenges inside organizations may not actually be leadership problems at all.

From his current base in New Mexico — traveling via RV — we get into the whole story: military service, combat leadership, trust, human behavior, decision-making, organizational culture, higher education, trauma, personal transformation, and what comes next.

This is a conversation about leadership shaped by experience — and about taking everything you've learned and finding new ways to use it to make a difference.

Denise Donatelli: Take My Breath Away | New Jazz Album, Geoffrey Keezer & a New Perspective on Life

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with acclaimed jazz vocalist Denise Donatelli, talking about her powerful new 2026 album Take My Breath Away.

On this deeply personal return to Neon Jazz, Denise reunites with Grammy-winning pianist, arranger, and producer Geoffrey Keezer for a project shaped not only by music, but by an extraordinary journey through life, health, resilience, and a renewed perspective on what matters most.

The tracks on Take My Breath Away were originally recorded in May 2024 at Bunker Studios in Brooklyn, New York. But shortly after returning home to Los Angeles, Denise received difficult news: the results of a mammogram and biopsy confirmed breast cancer.

The album was put on hold as Denise underwent medical treatment throughout the following year. Thankfully, those treatments were successful, and she eventually returned to the studio with an “all clear!”

Now, Take My Breath Away is finally being shared with the world.

In this conversation, Denise opens up about the making of the album, her collaboration with Geoffrey Keezer, the unexpected pause in the creative process, her experience navigating cancer treatment, and the new perspective on life that emerged from it all.

This is a story about music, resilience, survival, gratitude, creativity, and finding your way back to the studio — and back to yourself.

We get into it all in this emotional and inspiring return of Denise Donatelli to the Neon Jazz interview series.

Business Success Brent Kocal Had It All — Then Asked “What’s Next?” | Better Beliefs & Spiritual Growth

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Business Owner, Storyteller & Spiritual Seeker Brent Kocal.

For more than 20 years, Brent Kocal built the “aspirational” life — the company, the marriage, the health, the house. Then he hit a wall that many successful people rarely talk about: he had everything and still wondered, “What’s next?”

His answer wasn't to work harder. It was to go inward.

Four ayahuasca ceremonies, a daily meditation practice, and a deep dive into the Tao Te Ching and Bhagavad Gita became part of Brent's journey into healing, consciousness, spirituality, belief, and the deeper questions of the human experience.

Today, he creates Better Beliefs, a narrative storytelling show exploring the stories we tell, the beliefs we carry, and how those beliefs shape our lives.

In this powerful conversation, Brent and Joe Dimino explore success, purpose, spirituality, meditation, consciousness, personal transformation, storytelling, and the search for meaning after achieving the life you thought you wanted.

What happens when you've accomplished the dream — but you're still searching for what's next?

We caught up with Jennifer to delve into her haunting literary debut, The House in the Middle of the Street, and her fascinating life as a creative.

In The House in the Middle of the Street, the Greek-American author blends ancient mythology, dark whimsy, psychological suspense, and the uncanny to create a fever-dream fairy tale for tumultuous times. Part myth, part fable, and part psychological excavation, the novel explores the strange places where memory, identity, fear, and imagination collide.

Jennifer is a lifelong storyteller whose onscreen work includes roles in The Louise Log, Good Friday, and FBI: Most Wanted. She has also written and produced for Demivoula Studios and co-founded 18 Bleecker Films, creating projects that merge myth, memory, and the uncanny.

Entrepreneur Sandi Glandt on Productivity, High Performance & Systems to Slay Your Day

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with CEO of Slay Your Day Sandi Glandt.

Sandi is a high-performance productivity coach, 2x international bestselling author, Mrs. International 2022–2023, TV host on The CW’s Connect Network, top-rated podcaster, and co-founder of Called to Lead.

Based in Hollywood, Florida, Sandi built her brand around a powerful insight gained while coaching women in health and fitness: the real reason ambitious women feel overwhelmed and stuck isn't a lack of discipline or desire — it's the absence of systems.

That insight became the S3 Framework — Systems, Strategy, and Support — and later evolved into the High Performance Accelerator Academy, a monthly enrollment program for growth-minded women who want repeatable systems that multiply time, money, and momentum without sacrificing their marriage, motherhood, or mission.

In this conversation, we get into productivity, time management, high performance, entrepreneurship, leadership, creating better systems, overcoming overwhelm, and Sandi's incredible journey from coaching women to building a powerful business and personal brand.

If you're ready to stop simply working harder and start building systems that help you slay your day, this conversation is for you.
