Two Great Flavours - Horace Silver and Billy Cobham

Hosted by Glen and Eddie. Sometimes when we meet up to decide what to play on our show we can't agree. That is where compromise comes in, so from Glen comes the piano artistry of Horace Silver, hard-bop pioneer and from Eddie comes Billy Cobham the Panamanian-American drummer whose influence extends well beyond Jazz. Listen to an hour of great jazz played by two great artists. Produced by Manawatū People’s Radio with support from New Zealand On Air. Listen On Demand
