• Noon The RNZ Concert Classical Chart

  This week's best-selling CDs

• 1:00 PM. Jazz Lustre

  Two programmes in which Rebecca Blundell looks at jazz luminaries in the year of a significant birthday, and celebrates the contribution they've made to jazz

  (1) Benny Goodman (1909-1986)

  The clarinettist and bandleader caused riots in ballrooms with his new 'hot' swing style, while his technical mastery made him sought after across musical genres. His popularity contributed to bringing racially mixed bands into the mainstream (RNZ)

• 2:00 PM. Global Sounds

  Indigenous music from around the world

  A group effort: music making by many from around the world

  A recent study by Chorus America found that singing in a choir is strongly correlated with qualities that are associated with success through life (Source: www.chorusamerica.org). Whether you agree with that or not, there's no doubt that there's something special about being part of a large group of music makers

  Today's programme is a selection of vocal and instrumental music from around the world that's intended to be performed in a group. It includes music for a Ukrainian bandurist chorus, a drumming ensemble, American gospel choirs, a Chinese pipa orchestra and some Tibetan Buddhist chanting (Intuition INT 3287-2; Sony 88697 22592; Airmail Music SA 141149; Smithsonian Folkways Recordings SFW CD 40194; Ocora C 560204; Channel of China CCS SA 80607)
