Def Jim returns from his extended Summer break with a total blast of a Jazz Shown featuring a track from each of three brand new releases from the likes of Steve Coleman & 5 Elements, Ava Mendoza and Emily Remler. The latter (which opens the Show) is particularly noteworthy, being a taste of the first previously unheard set from the sadly deceased guitarist Ms. Remler released for 25 years. Naturally there are plenty more delights to be savoured in this Show, such as a piece by 70's UK fusion pioneers Nucleus taken from a multi-CD set released a couple of years ago which exhaustively documents their recording sessions for UK public broadcaster the BBC. Warmly recommended.

Frances Chan takes a tiki tour of jazz from around the world - from Aotearoa to Asia, Turkey to Iceland, Africa and the Americas, including a couple of Womad previews. Plus we remember the velvet voice of Roberta Flack.
