Blind Mango on the decks delivering more sweet jazz goodness.
Your show kicks off with guitar music by Nicky Skopelitis, plays tribute to Brazilian arranger Sergio Mendes, who passed away last month. In the second half of the show he unboxes the new re-issue of the classic self-titled album by 1970 Tåmaki Makarau jazz-fusion innovators Dr Tree. Other selections include appearances by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Hubert Laws and the Mike Nock Trio.
Finn's show again! Today got nuts - we reached 32 on the pancake count! We chat birthdays, the new Wild Robot movie, check in with Captain Festus before he sails off to Sounds Fun with Suzy Cato, and get a load of awesome texts and calls from our listeners. It's Spooky Season!
