A Father's Day special for The Day of the Dad. And since so many dads love electric guitar, Blind Mango Chutney delivers a very special Jazz Show based around the instrument, with lots of electric guitar from six-string legends including Larry Coryell, George Benson, T-Bone Walker, and even Lou Reed and Van Morrison, interspersed with the trumpets of Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong, and the keys of Duke Ellington.
An extra-special Jazz Show this week with the entire 95bFM jazz team in the studio ahead of Herbie Hancock’s shown in Auckland and Wellington on Oct 8 and 9. Blind Mango Chutney hosts with the whole crew playing favourites and telling stories about their most-loved and best-remembered Herbie Hancock moments — including Miss Chan's, freshly back from LA, where she caught Herbie's special show at the Hollywood Bowl for the 50th anniversary of his milestone 'Head Hunters' album.

Blind Mango Chutney on the jazz decks again today. Joining him in the studio his week is Joe Kaptein to talk and play tracks from his new album 'Eternal Afternoon.' (Said to be "Yacht Jazz," says Joe!) And Ben from the Creative Jazz Club (CJC) talks about some salivating upcoming gigs — but not before some Christmas cheer from the Bill Evans Trio.
