Def Jim's Jazz Show this week features three personal favourites from the back catalogue of the tower of jazz drumming excellence that was the late Jack DeJohnette, a brand new release from the ever-interesting guitarist Nels Cline (think Wilco) and the latest find from his ongoing project to explore the 70s/80s work of saxophonist Chico Freeman. Plus, of course, a bunch of other quality album tracks from the past 50 years of recorded jazz, a couple of them very recent indeed. Play it, love it. 

Frances Chan delves into the Gilles Peterson universe ahead of his gig in Auckland on 14 Nov with studio guest Nathan Graves, JazzAuckland promoter and ex-Universal UK exec who regales with tales of Gilles and various acts on his record labels. Plus, we remember Jack DeJohnette and D’Angelo and a selection of classic vinyl and new releases.
