Another groovy selection from Blind Mango Chutney, plus he has Dr Frank Gibson Jr and Mike Booth from the NewBop Quintet in the studio to talk about hard bop, soul jazz, hip hop sampling and their upcoming gig at The Tuning Fork, 15 June.
Blind Mango Chutney plays some classics, and a preview of Calexico ahead of their gig in Auckland on 11 Feb, plus an interview with Kiwi entrepreneur and philanthropist Michael Watt who co-owns Ronnie Scott’s in London. Michael (83) name drops galore with local music promoter and friend of the Jazz Show Nathan Graves to highlight some of his colourful past that led to using a “lazy couple of million” to “clean up a shit hole” 20 years ago and turn Ronnie Scott’s around to preserve the famed jazz venue.
This week sees Boston-based quintet The Lonely Heartstring Band play a few blood-pumping bluegrass tunes in the studio for Fancy New Band, plus we premiere the dreamy new single from Wellington trio Womb.
Please enjoy this steaming bowl of Good Times Radio
