Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with veteran jazz guitarist and spiritual improviser Tisziji Muñoz . In this revealing conversation, we dive into his prolific career and latest work as a member of The Quantum Blues Quartet on the 2025 album Quantum Blues , featuring longtime friend and famed bandleader Paul Shaffer . Recorded in a single day with no charts or pre-written arrangements , Quantum Blues is a true exercise in musical intuition and collective flow. Tisziji—who has been a powerful creative force since the 1970s—is the one who suggested the formation of this group alongside his wife. Paul Shaffer, who has considered Tisziji a mentor since they met in 1969, brought the ensemble together for this singular session. From his unique guitar voice and spiritual approach to improvisation , to his long-standing influence on major musicians like Shaffer and Pharoah Sanders, Tisziji’s story is one of deep resonance in the jazz world. 🎸 Get the Album : Quantum Blues on Bandcamp For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe- dimino/id1660256991 Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dh The Home of Famous Interviews : http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/ Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ER Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

John Paul Shaffer from PeopleForBikes and Nick Oyler from the City of Memphis join us to talk about how Memphis has gone from 2 to 300 miles of off- and on-road bicycle facilities over a decade; which projects have been truly transformative, such as Shelby Farms Greenway and the Harahan Bridge Crossing; and how an intentional focus on equity and neighborhood-based programming has helped more Memphians get on bikes for recreation and transportation. Later in the program, regular commentator Charlie Santo reflects on moving from transportation mecca Portland, OR to Memphis and trying to navigate the local system. Charlie and Emily also talk about how bike infrastructure and related improvements like traffic calming can potentially help increase access to public spaces such as Tom Lee Park and Riverside Park.
