Frances Chan plays tunes celebrating their decade anniversaries from 1944 to 2014 – including bebop maestros Coleman Hawkins and Art Blakey, a soul jazz 70s classic and 80s Miles, an acid jazz throwback, Mulatu’s ethiovibes and experimental Flying Lotus plus 2024 releases from Kamasi, Nubya, Callum Allardice and Nathan Haines.

Setlist:

Labour Weekend special - songs about work. Miners, farmers, drug dealers, mercenaries, cops, lawyers...

It's nearly Halloween! Time to chat trick or treating, halloween parties, ghosts, and goblins! Oh yes and pancakes...

Thanks to the wonderful NZ Maritime Museum - Hui te Ananui a Tangaroa - for sponsoring the show!

It's the monthly check-in from your f'uncle Campbell Ngata with those soulful essentials plus a spesh guest in the form of Matiu Te Maire, a digger and battle DJ, now resident in Te Tairāwhiti, his mix bristling with classics and sample cuts for Hip-Hop's golden era, he also tips his pōtae to new inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2024) A Tribe Called Quest, and Kool & the Gang. We hope that you will find our presentation precise, bass-heavy, and just right!

This week on Travelling Tunes, Kirsten chats to Jonny about songs of freedom and the use of music in civil rights and activism. Whakarongo mai nei!
