Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz Interview Series. On this episode, we talk with veteran British jazz guitarist Mitch Dalton. Known as one of the U.K.’s most in-demand studio musicians, Mitch has built a remarkable career working alongside legends like Herbie Hancock, Ella Fitzgerald, Wayne Shorter, Peggy Lee, and Quincy Jones. We caught up with him just outside London to talk about his 2026 album Out of the Shadows, a project that sees this longtime sideman finally stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist. Drawing from decades of session work and jazz performance, Out of the Shadows reflects Mitch’s deep love of jazz, rich musical history, and masterful guitar voice. In this conversation, we explore his journey through the music industry, stories behind working with legends, and what it means to take center stage after years behind the scenes. Dig this fascinating ride through the world of jazz. 🎶 Listen to the album:https://music.apple.com/us/album/out-of-the-shadows/1833317822 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  Learn more about your ad choices.
