The 95bFM Jazz Show

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.

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING right over for a HUGEBABY of a show on 95bFM Jazz Show on 95bFM with LilParsnip (aka DJ Sassy) and Mr F (aka LonelyBuffalo)!

Mr F played THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME with a GLORY BOX of acid jazz, trip hop and Burt Bacharach. I said what I said!

It was smooth, it was pointy, it was groovy and it was hot!!! He really was THE JACKAL of the airwaves today!

Your 'Happy Jazz Hosts' on this occasion are Dr. Mark Baynes, & Miss Dom, brought to you by San Ray.

During the show, Miss Dom catches up on a few local 'new releases' from epically talented Tamaki artists: 'Man of the Keys' Joe Kaptein, and the delightful vibes of Vocalist & Songstress Crystal Chen. Then Dom 'gets 'global' with a few other new releases.

Dr. Mark kicks off playing a few of the artists & players who will be making up the exciting 'Live music programmes' at the incoming 'International Jazz Festivals.’ 

Mid-Show, Dom then jumps on  the Jazz Festival vibe too. The pair proceed to get excited by the International Jazz Festivals programmes landing this month in Australia (Melbourne, & Perth), & also in Wellington.
