Music 101 for Saturday 10 March 2012

2-3pm

Access All Areas: Yes
Grammy Award-winning prog-rockers YES arrive in New Zealand for the first time next month.
Formed in London in 1968, YES helped change the sound of UK music - they were amongst the original pioneers of prog-rock. Twenty studio albums later, YES is still a hard working band. Founding member and bassist Chris Squire joins us on Music 101 to talk about a career that has been close to the edge and back again.

Yes, live in 2011

Mexican-American conga master Poncho Sanchez visited with his Latin jazz band to play the influential 1947 works of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and Afro-Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo. Poncho Sanchez tells us of his love for the rhythms of Latin America.

Four Titans Part 2 : Tony Visconti and Nile Rodgers
Four of the biggest names in popular music production - talk about their lives in music as part of the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid 2011.
Tony Visconti has produced everyone from Iggy Pop to The Stranglers, The Manic Street Preachers to Elaine Page - but it's David Bowie that Visconti is most closely associated with, playing a large part in much of Bowie's seminal work, kicking off in 1969 with Space Oddity. Nile Rodgers took his band Chic from the Studio 54 excesses of the '70s Disco Explosion to a multitude of excesses the world over. These individuals share some of their most intimate stories, affable anecdotes, and honest accounts of their lives.

Kevin Field
He's an accomplished local jazz pianist whose latest record began life as a response to a near-death experience. When Field got out of hospital he headed over to Nathan Haines' house and laid down Cousin Morphine. It was the first composition of a series that would become an album called Field Of Vision. The composer and teacher talks about his love of Herbie Hancock who, like Field, began playing classical repertoire before disappearing down the jazz rabbit hole.
