The 95bFM Jazz Show with Blind Mango Chutney, March 9 2025
A lot of Roy Ayers this afternoon, to mark the passing of the great vibraphonist and band leader — and, sadly, of several other luminaries including r’n’b saxophonist Gene Barge (aka Daddy G, the template for Clarence Clemons), David Johansen (featuring a first-ever appearance on any Jazz show anywhere by the New York Dolls!), and of course jazz, soul and pop singer Roberta Flack.
Two special guests also join Blind Mango in the studio this afternoon:
Ben Fernandez plays his diminutive keyboard and talks about his many upcoming projects (including Bollywood and Jazz) and ongoing play-with-music 'a mixtape for maladies' at ASB Waterfront Theatre, every day until March 23rd.
And Frances swings by to announce the Jazz GigGuide live, and stays to discuss future events and shared jazz memories.

95bFM Jazz Show with Def Jim: Sunday November 23, 2025
Def Jim's Jazz Show this week features three personal favourites from the back catalogue of the tower of jazz drumming excellence that was the late Jack DeJohnette, a brand new release from the ever-interesting guitarist Nels Cline (think Wilco) and the latest find from his ongoing project to explore the 70s/80s work of saxophonist Chico Freeman. Plus, of course, a bunch of other quality album tracks from the past 50 years of recorded jazz, a couple of them very recent indeed. Play it, love it.
The 95bFM Jazz Show - drawing on the music that influenced jazz, the music that became jazz, and the music that jazz became. A must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and music lovers alike, with Blind Mango Chutney, Miss Dom, Def Jim, Frances Chan or Dr. Mark Baynes. Sundays from midday.
