Mike Gavin presents: Jazz Progression (17 March 2026)

Mike Gavin, label manager at Cadillac and Ogun Records, looks at the growth of community music in the 1970s – the DIY ethic forced on musicians by the social, economic and cultural changes at the beginning of the decade (sound familiar?), and plays music gems which maybe aren’t getting played so much elsewhere.
