Ladies and Gentlemen, friends & enemies, welcome to the 95bFM Jazz Show with your host, Blind Mango Chutney.

This Sunday, Blind Mango features Kokoroko, London/Nigerian band playing at the Powerstation on 26 November.

And a testimonial to long-serving former co-presenter of bFM Show The Audible World, Pim Gorter.

Brought to you by San Ray bistro in Ponsonby Rd.

This week on the show, our guest Jonathan Bywater turns up with a crate that demonstrates he’ll follow musical inspiration wherever it happens to be hiding, genres be damned. One moment he’s floating through The Midnight Express Show Band's "Tri-Fire" boogie demo or the globe-trotting boom-bap of Chillin’ Villains, the next he’s swerving into Cash Money Millionaires like it’s still 2000 and everyone’s wearing unbelievably large denim.

Then he returns to the roots: Vernon Garrett preaching, U.S. Warren doing tough-love blues, even Kahil El’Zabar’s deep-water ritualism sits comfortably next to Cooper-Moore and Hamid Drake’s shimmering “Five Angels by the Stream.”

Then we're heavy loungin' with Enoch Light’s "Shaft" and some private press business courtesy of the Randon Bros, before jettin' south to break out the claves and acordion for Conjunto Miramar's Columbian Cumbia heater "Carruseles", Nuyorican swinger Ricardo Ray and other latin treats. Enjoy

All three deputies broadcasting live from Studio 1 Guitars! Fantastic live performances from Fables and Moongoose. A huge thank you to Studio 1 Vintage Guitars for hosting us and their continued support of our show. Yeehaw! 

Finn introduces power pop sensation Paul Cathro, and traces his lineage from head trauma in Dunedin to his latest album Catapault, which came out this year. Next week is their song, with the prompt 'The highs, the lows'.
