The 95bFM Jazz Show with Blind Mango Chutney, Miss Dom, Def Jim, Frances Chan or Dr. Mark Baynes

Blind Mango Chutney keeps the winter chills at bay with strong doses of jazz reggae, jazz rock and jazz fusion, and in-studio guest music entrepreneur John Baker plays an immune-boosting selection of rare early NZ jazz, rock and exotica recordings.

Blind Mango Chutney loves the local flavours from The Lahaar to Whirimako Black and ethnic grooves from South Africa and beyond.

In a typically varied set, Def Jim splices gnarly nuggets from old stalwarts of the avant-garde with new releases from the likes of Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Julian Lage, virtuosic guitar in both electric blues and finger-picked trio/duo settings and sundry sparkling album tracks bursting out of relative obscurity before closing out with some classic John Coltrane.

Frances Chan features the great keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith and his first record in 25 years, a selection of ethio-jazz, outstanding local vocals and we remember Astrud Gilberto.
