Blind Mango kicks off the show with a sensational version of a seasonal standard.
Female singers & players feature highly this afternoon — with a stunning trio of pieces from Nina Simone, then the delightfulness of vocalist Annette Peacock, & then the keys of Joanne Brackeen.
A Roy Ayers's deep-dig makes an appearance courtesy of Jubt, & a bunch of short-distance, track dedications (& long distance shout-outs) are sent out to show listeners, & Jazz Show Fam overseas.
Miss Dom pops in to host this week's Vinyl Guide, & for some extra B.V.s (lol). The pair get excited ahead of visiting Navajo trumpeter Delbert Anderson — playing later that arvo in the Spiegeltent with his Quartet as part of the Auckland Arts Festival Indigenous Music Series.
A busy show today with visits from Melodownz, who played his new single (a day early!) for us and discussed fashion with Thursday host Emma Gleason. She was also joined by 'Bloke Of The Apocalypse' creator Charlie Faulks and voice actor Jack Marlin, who talked about their new web series, which won $500,000 in funding from NZ on Air.
Welcome beboppers to the jazziest two hours on the station.
