Modern Jazz Guitarist Russ Spiegel Returns – Inside the 2026 Album Timepieces

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series. On this episode, we welcome back jazz guitarist, composer, and bandleader Russ Spiegel to talk about his 2026 album Timepieces. After our first conversation in Spring 2025, Russ returns with a fresh collection of modern jazz compositions built around intricate rhythms and odd meters. Featuring collaborators Tal Cohen, Vincent Dupont, and Brandon Lee Lewis, Timepieces showcases Russ’s signature approach as a composer, arranger, and producer. Beyond this release, Russ has built a diverse career—performing everything from solo guitar to leading a 17-piece jazz orchestra, composing for film, TV, and musicals, and touring extensively around the world. We dive into the making of the album, his creative process, and what’s next as he hits the road to promote this new music. 👉 Get the album: https://russ-spiegel.bandcamp.com/album/timepieces For More Neon Jazz: Shows via MixCloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/neonjazzkc/Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/neonjazzkcSubscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-joe-dimino/id546432639?mt=2 The Home of Neon Jazz:http://theneonjazz.blogspot.com/ Contribute to Neon Jazz via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ER  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
