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.
Blind Mango Chutney is your guide through another entertaining tour through jazz fast, slow, bopping and swinging—with special note of the 50th anniversary of Keith Jarrett's classic 'Koln Concert'.
His first guest is young South African jazzer Warren Duncan, talking about his work at the Auckland Uni jazz school, and his new album ‘The Jazz Estate.’
And he has a long chat with promoter Nathan Graves ahead of upcoming gigging at Aotea Square’s 2-day Something Else Festival, including a conversation about mutual pianistic favourites local Joe Kaptein and (or course) the classic ECM artist Keith Jarrett.

Might have gone a bit rogue tonight. There's a Bob Marley song with some nice slidey guitar in it, so I played that. And Calexico played Echo & The Bunnymen's Killing Moon at their show, so I played that. And I played the very psych-border vibe of Dirtwire, and a cool song called Cowboy by Palo Santo, and an Australian band called The Mountains, played them. And Mary-Elaine Jenkins and Tori Forsythe and a new one from Julia Jacklin and that Sun Kil Moon song, Carissa, about his cousin. And a whole heap more.
A few played in recognition of Mr Bernie Griffen's award at The Taites, lots of new music that's happening right now in Arizona via a little label called The U-Turn Collective that was heaps of fun, Dolly, Townes, and without judgement or prejudice, America 'cos Lucia heard it in a film and it reminded her of Border Radio and Metallica covering Tuesday's Gone 'cos Adam McGrath mentions it in that fine song by The Eastern, Talking Americana Cowboy Yeeha Blues. Marlon live at The Auckland Town Hall and Marty Robbins too.
On tonights show all the songs are about or involve booze and/or drugs. Just for kicks, it's pretty good fun. *Not an endorsement. Kids ask your parents.
A couple of hours of songs on or around the subject of war, given what's in the headlines. Folk and country and blues singers been writing these for a long time...
This week, on the biggest show on the radio Callum is joined by special guest co-host (and identical twin brother) Oliver Devlin to celebrate him being in town on a Wednesday. They have a dip into Oli's unheard back catalogue of theatre compositions, including his midi covers of The Beths, all while playing the biggest songs of the week! Also featuring music by Thin Lizzy, Toy Love, Aldous Harding and ABBA.
Last show of the year for me, a few of the classics and a generous helping from a couple of the 'best of 2022' lists stalked online. Some great songs in there, especially Mariel Buckley's I hate this town and the Nick Shoulders cover of Blondie's Heart of Glass.
