Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with North Carolina-based jazz guitarist Daniel DeLorenzo, returning to the show to discuss his 2026 album, Can You Not.

This latest release continues Daniel's exploration of his distinctive compositional style and unconventional approach to the guitar. Featuring six original compositions, the album showcases a musical relationship shaped by countless improvisations, creative collaborations, and a shared commitment to exploring new sonic territory.

Daniel is joined by the masterful Theous Jones on drums and Casey Toll on bass, whose musicianship brings depth, energy, and interplay to the trio's sound. Together, they create music that balances carefully crafted compositions with the spontaneity and freedom of improvisation.

In this conversation, we get into the making of Can You Not, Daniel's evolving approach to jazz guitar, the chemistry behind the trio, live performances, and what's next in his musical journey.

It's always great to welcome Daniel back to Neon Jazz for another conversation about creativity, collaboration, and the ever-expanding possibilities of jazz.
