Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Kansas City Jazz Spoons Player & Utensilist Peter Shilliday ..  I have caught him live a few times with Bram accompanying him on either piano or according and his performance is very impressive .. He picked up the inspiration for spoons from his grandfather who played spoons as a pastime while deployed in Japan during WWII .. He would end up taking the deep dive into spoons playing in 2012 on a folk tune in a choir concert as a student at Missori S&T. From there, he began doing it for his passion of swing music .. He is also a swing dancer and goes by the stage name DJ Shillzapoppin .. He’s a very unique part of a great Kansas City jazz scene .. Dig the story ..
