    95bFM Jazz Show with Def Jim: Sunday April 5, 2026

    The latest 95bFM Jazz Show with Def Jim features the work of a number of notable contemporary guitarists, including Miles Okazaki, Julian Lage, Kurt Rosenwinkel, John Scofield, Nels Cline and Terje Rypdal. Following the death of Country Joe McDonald in early March, tribute is paid in the form of a classic Country Joe & The Fish track from the late 60's which has Def Jim remembering that at one time there was a tradition of playing a not-jazz track almost every Jazz Show, a custom which has now lapsed. This Jazz Show finishes with a Michel Benebig Quartet piece recorded live at the ATO Jazz Club in New Lynn, Auckland - out now on Rattle Records.

Essential listening for Jazz Heads of every stripe.
