Welcome to Episode #143 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with singer, songwriter and producer, Zola Marcelle. Following a string of standalone single and EP releases dating back to 2018, the multi-faceted Zola Marcelle releases her debut full-length album entitled 'Home' unveiled through the hallowed walls of London's Jazz Re:freshed. Adding her name to the revered Jazz Re:freshed lineage which includes Kaidi Tatham, Nubya Garcia and Richard Spaven, Zola's exceptional credentials to date have seen past collaborations alongside Daniel Casimir and Ashley Henry as well as having secured coveted touring duties alongside Myele Manzanza. 'Home' serves as an inspired depiction of Zola's creative peak to date - a fascinating and compelling portrayal of an artist examining the concept of "home" as an individual as well as an ideology within a greater tapestry of culture and heritage. We're so appreciative of Zola's time for this conversation which sees us delve into her career to date, the ideas and inspirations that brought 'Home' to fruition, the album's incredible supporting cast including Lewis Moody and Rudi Creswick, Jazz Re:freshed and London's thriving jazz landscape.

Back in 2015 on The Weekend, as part of our Musical Dynasties segment, Shaun D Wilson spoke to renowned Wellington-based beatmaker and jazz drummer Myele Manzanza. Now we've brought back Myele back for Joint Jukebox, where a pair of friends spin the tunes that define their relationship - for good or for bad. Myele introduced Shaun to Australian composer, producer, and bass player Ross McHenry, who he's recently been on a joint album release tour with. They also debate the joys of, or lack of joy in, test cricket. Myele is playing at the Wellington Botanic Gardens as part of the Gardens Magic series, and later in the year RNZ National will broadcast Ross & Myele in concert.
Jen Riches talks to Myele Manzanza about the Welly Jazz Festival and the Documentary Edge Film Festival directors, Alex Lee and Dan Shanan.
Sam Manzanza is a Congolese musician who has been playing gigs in New Zealand since the eighties, and fronts Sam Manzanza's Afrobeat Band. His jazz trained son Myele has played with many, many groups, most notably Electric Wire Hustle, and is also a solo act.
