Blind Mango Chutney eases us in with some laidback Paul Desmond and finishes with the innovative pianist Joanne Brackeen. In between he has guitarist Alex Pipes in the studio to introduce us to his album "Square One", plus a bunch of other cool jazz, of course.
Hey there be-boppers. Blind Mango Chutney in the chair for a cracking 95bFM Jazz Show showcasing hard bop, be-bop, acoustic jazz, and even (gasp!) yacht rock.
Band leader and drummer Taylor Griffin drops in the studio on his way to play Music in Parks at the Auckland Domain band rotunda, to talk about inspiration, influences and recent projects—including his new EP ‘In Green’ (featuring Nathan Haines). And Blind Mango finishes up (perhaps?) his stories about the Dave Pike Set.
And of course don’t miss the Gig Guide, for all your upcoming jazz news and grooves around town.
