In the first part of the Artbank this week, we commemorated the life and work of the artist Billy Apple by speaking to a selection of those who knew him. We were lucky enough to hear from Eve de Castro-Robinson, Andrew Clifford, Daniel Malone, and Stephen Cleland. In the second part of the program, Megan Dunn joined Theo to discuss Things I Learned in Art School, her wonderful memoir/essay collection.
Def Jim drops a typically chunky set this week, ranging from the intense to the lyrically sublime and exploring some relatively neglected corners of modern creative improvisation.
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.
