The 95bFM Jazz Show with Blind Mango Chutney, Miss Dom, Def Jim, Frances Chan or Dr. Mark Baynes

A tribute today to the late great Quincy Jones across his many incarnations since beginning as a trumpeter and arranger with the likes of Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie, and his own first band The Jones Boys.

Guests in the studio for the first half are the band After 'Ours, playing tracks and talking music and their new album. Blind Mango heads to the close with more tracks from several recently departed greats including Quincy Jones, saxophonist Lou Donaldson, and drummer Roy Haynes.
