Blind Mango kicks off the show with a sensational version of a seasonal standard.

Female singers & players feature highly this afternoon — with a stunning trio of pieces from Nina Simone, then the delightfulness of vocalist Annette Peacock, & then the keys of Joanne Brackeen.

A Roy Ayers's deep-dig makes an appearance courtesy of Jubt, & a bunch of short-distance, track dedications (&  long distance shout-outs) are sent out to show listeners, & Jazz Show Fam overseas.

Miss Dom pops in to host this week's Vinyl Guide, & for some extra B.V.s (lol).  The pair get excited ahead of visiting Navajo trumpeter Delbert Anderson — playing later that arvo in the Spiegeltent with his Quartet as part of the Auckland Arts Festival Indigenous Music Series.
