GENRE: Jazz
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Fifty years ago, Frank Zappa said, “ Jazz wasn’t dead; it just smelled funny.” These days, there are a lot of subgenres of jazz: nu jazz, Latin jazz, soul jazz, acid jazz, new soul,
new funk, and Jazztronik. These must be the kinds of jazz that smell funny. So I’ve taken Frank Zappa at his word and called the program Odorama, and each week, I play tracks from each of these jazz subgenres.

BACKGROUND: Worked as a Freeland musician in the 1970s.

Enrolled in the post-graduate research program and graduated with a PhD in composition in 2018.

I worked as a band musician playing jazz/lounge music from 2008 to 2017 in Newcastle, NSW.
