Frances Chan and Miss Dom play 100% NZ musicians to celebrate NZ Music Month, plus sax symbol Nick Atkinson is live in the studio blowing his baritone and bass clarinet and spinning a few yarns.
Yes, Blind Mango Chutney returns to the decks with a jazz appeciation of Summer & Spring.
He also marks the sad passing of drummer Jack DeJohnette, one of the greatest drummers in modern jazz, working with the likes of Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, & Miles Davis.
And he spins the very first jazz record that sold a million copies—and it's not what you think!
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.
