Blind Mango Chutney takes you on a journey through the jazz universe.

Joining him in the studio this week is evergreen vocalist local legend Linn Lorkin, telling stories and painting colours from a whole lifetime in music—and *singing* her newest book: Linn Lorkin’s Song Book, lyrics referencing life from Grey Lynn to K Rd.

DJ Sassy pops in to fix microphones and deliver the Gig Guide and general sunniness.

And Blind Mango continues the tribute to Frank Gibson Jr., because there’s so much to play, and to others to whom the Grim Reaper has been unkind this week: Sly Stone, who needs no introduction, and trumpeter Al Foster, best known for his work with Miles Davis.

The 95bFM Jazz Show is sponsored by San Ray on Ponsonby Rd, eulogised earlier by Linn Lorkin

It's called The Jazz Show. It happens every Sunday from noon thru 2 pm on Radio bFM. It's been going for years and we're all very proud of it. The hosts rotate and every few weeks it's Def Jim's turn. As usual, today he played various selections from his recent listening that he thought you'd all really like, including artists such as Adam O'Farrill, James Brandon Lewis and Creative Construction Company. Plus he spoke a tribute to the great Anthony Braxton, who turned 80 last Wedneday. It's a great podcast - enjoy!
