Found a barbeque cookout and hoe down on instagram that robert earle keen was playing at in Temple, Texas . They would have been kicking on after the day as we went to air - so I got a few names off the poster and shared them with y'all...
Blind Mango Chutney is taking an enforced break this week (get well soon Blind Mango!) so stepping in to take you on a jazz trip this Sunday is Sperber Dan, with a little this and that, and a lot of crossover jazz.
Joining him in the studio is Taylor Griffin ahead of his gig on Saturday at Ponsonby Social Club. He talks about and plays his inspirations, and introduces us to his forthcoming (second) album.
And all sponsored by the great San Ray Restaurant on Ponsonby Rd.
