Today on your bFM Breakfast: A little ~weekette~ between holidays; Fabian's excited about Avengers and being in New York; Dr. Kirsten Zemke talks Grime; Alice Sneddon comes in for a chat about animals, bad tattoos and her upcoming show; and Sha, from Meera, joins Mikey to talk about it's 14 years in the making. And a nice long Final Call right before the weekend. Bliss.
Blind Mango Chutney and Miss Dom go track for track – BMC kicking off the show with an absolute classic cut from John Coltrane, then they roll through some new releases from Concord Jazz, Blue Note Jazz Reimagined, Bill Frisell, Bob James and more.
Sperber Dan ducks to Brazil, hits new music from Wales and Aotearoa and checks out deep cuts and fresh sounds from Auckland’s live movers and shakers, then wraps up with some clap-alongs from Kenny Garrett and Monty Alexander.
Def Jim samples a new 13-volume set from one of improvised music's most iconic warriors, mourns the recent passing of an outstanding British guitarist and otherwise delivers a cut'n'paste collage of Free Jazz edits, shorter tracks and general bangers and belters.
Sperber Dan slots in a splendiforously spiritual selection inspired by the late Pharoah Sanders and also talks to jazz journalist John Fenton about the great man's influence. A soulful show interspersed with slinky cuts.
