Broadcast high in the Rockies each week from 2PM - 4PM MT on KFFR 88.3-FM and KFFR.org, Mateo’s Magic Bus takes listeners on a journey around the world, exploring the roots of jazz and blues alongside music from today and the past decades that has been influenced by these incredible art forms.
On this week's ride, DJ Mateo is joined by co-pilots DJ Ameo and Dr. Josh for the 5th Annual Mateo's Magic Bus Holiday show. From jazzy classics like Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite, to new Robert Glasper, soul and funk from Clarence Carter and the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, singing for Santa Claus to Go Straight to the Ghetto, we weave an incredible ride of jazz, stories, soul and funk to alight the holiday spirits!!
Dr. Josh, a noted jazz and music educator/performer, talks about helping establish and run the youth jazz education program at Lincoln Center in NYC, to now teaching the next generation as head of music at historic Manual High School in Denver - he brings a profound setlist and an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz & music to The Bus.
DJ Ameo joins and co-pilot for her 5th MMB Holiday Show, bringing her stories, beautiful perspective & joy plus some rockin' fun soul and funk holiday tunes into the fold! Also joining for her first ride on The Bus is DJ Billie, our fun and precocious frenchie.
