Def Jim gets the 95bFM Jazz Show off to a cracking start for 2024 with selections from brand new releases featuring emerging guitarist Ava Mendoza and Myra Melford's Fire And Water Quintet (with guitarist Mary Halvorson) amongst a trove of other lovingly curated material from across the modern jazz firmament. 

Three deputies in the studio.

Kirsten and Paul deputise Louis as third host for Border Radio. All three in the studio.

Sperber Dan digs around in recent releases, finding local gems by Mel Stevenson and Christoph El Truento, UK jazz scene highlights and more. Later it’s off to the op shop for Dollar Disco, Jazz Show style. Then, after some very contemporary vocal numbers, we pause to reflect with Bill Evans and Jimmy Scott, finishing with some groove classics.

It's NYE and what better than Campbell Ngata and his Tairāwhiti co-pilot Cassawarrior to bring a continent-spanning selection of heat to get the vibe right. One to save and rewind! HNY!

The poised and nostalgic Judah Kelley comes through for a chat about what she's been up to this year, as well as what's to come...
