RNZ Reviews: December 2018

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now nearly three years into  it. Last year I […]

Menahan Street Band: The Crossing

Menahan Street Band The Crossing Shock You know the hardworking Menahan Street Band, if not from their previous album then for their work with Charles Bradley and Lee Fields and Amy Winehouse – and the horn section doubles for The Dap-Kings so you’ve heard these players in a variety of contexts and they are sharp.
