The 95bFM Jazz Show

Dr Mark Baynes and Frances Chan cruise the Big Easy for their pick of New Orleans jazz - brass bands galore, tinkling ivories and some sensuous singers as well. And we remember Bennie Pete, bandleader and sousaphone player from the Hot 8 Brass Band, who passed away on 6 September 2021.

As the Spring ripens and the Great Unvaxxed begin to feel more & more like 2nd class citizens, Def Jim responds to a call from the listenership for some Joey Baron drumming, and indulges in a little nostalgia in the shape of a few faves from previous shows. Otherwise he reflects on Life On Earth with Buddha's Joy and Wonder and notes darkly that Innuendo is Nobody's Friend....

Frances Chan offers a twofer show - something old and something new - from selected artists with distinguished back catalogues. Plus some nostalgic Caribbean biguine, organs and accordions a-plenty and two female bass players who’ll knock your jazz socks off.
