This week's PBS Feature Album is Te Whare Tīwekaweka, the fourth album from Marlon Williams. Over fourteen original songs, performed entirely in Te Reo Māori, Marlon explores newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision. When Marlon was having difficulty writing an album in English, he found that switching to his other ancestral tongue, which while not fluent, unlocked a new means of self-expression and felt like an important act of reclamation.
PBS has been a welcome home to jazz since its inception. With contemporary jazz, swing, Latin, fusion, lounge, free and vocal jazz on offer throughout the week, you’ll find jazz for every taste on PBS.
