Blind Mango Chutney is your host this week, playing tracks from the new album by by Avondale quartet Damp 4, and introducing special guest selector Mark de Clive-Lowe, talking about his music, and his new base in Tokyo. And Miss Dom pops in to do the vinyl guide — even gets to ask Mark a question!

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.

In this installment of Blind Mango Chutney's ongoing survey of Jazz — past, present and future — he  revisits three tracks from Mike Nock's extensive back catalog as an acknowledgement of his impending APRA AMCOS New Zealand Music Hall of Fame Induction; tips a hat to Japanese/Kiwi pianist Mark De Clive-Lowe who is contemplating his 50 years on the planet; and muses on American label International Anthem plotting the future path of jazz in the 21st century, playing out an entire side of Jaimie Branch's exquisite "Fly or Die" LP. All rounded off with plenty of other tasty material stitched through your weekly deep dive into the jazz genre.
