Chris Forster and Peter Cresswell come out of the vinyl archives to present jazz old and new as it appeared (or should have appeared) on film. Everything from every decade, from Coppola to Count Basie, and from David Lynch to Duke Ellington and Goldsmith Baynes.

Thanks to show sponsor San Ray restaurant in Ponsonby Rd.

Hope to catch some of our Jazz Show listeners, & likewise, vinyl lovers - this Saturday (20th Sept) from 9am until 1.30 at All-Press Studio - 8 Drake Street, City - Come have a dig, & say 'Hi'

Here is some vital, vinyl infos:
Auckland‘s best Record Fair is back on 20 September with lovingly curated crates from some of Aotearoa’s deepest diggers, DJ’s and vinyl fiends.

For over a decade, Apera Tehemara has been the driving force behind The Other Crate Record Fair, a vibrant event that unites vinyl enthusiasts and celebrates the rich, tactile experience of collecting records...

From ultra rare tunes dug out from dusty basements on far-flung continents to boxes of “dollar hollers” (essential cheapies), you don’t want to miss out on this.
Hosted at the mighty All-press Gallery Drake Street in central Tāmaki (just behind Vic Park Markets), this is the spot to come to make your record dollars go further and find that record that’s been at the top of the wants list since you heard it at that party that time and dropped your phone getting Shazam up and running.
Vendor announcement to come, but rest assured, there's going to be some outstanding crates on show.
Giddy-up folks - & make a day of it : >
Cheers to our friends at The Other Crate Fair - for putting this epic event on : >

As 2025 ripens, the days are beginning to lengthen. The constant flow of high quality new releases in the world of Jazz is showing no sign of abating. Def Jim samples a few in today's Jazz Show, including discs from Mary Halvorson (pictured), James Brandon Lewis and Ivo Perelman/Matthew Shipp String Trio. As usual, these and others are interspersed with choice cuts from the dazzling array of recordings visible in Jazz's rear view mirror, the whole cooking up to a highly satisfying Gumbo in which new and old rub together, enhancing the flavour of each. Don't miss it! https://95bfm.com/bcast/jazz-show-20250824-1200-mp3
