Mike Nock is one of New Zealand's greatest jazz musicians.
He's played around the world with some of the biggest names - Miles Davis, Yusef Lateef, Art Blakey, Johnny O'Keefe, Dionne Warwick, and Michael Brecker.
He has more than 40 albums to his name, and over a hundred on which he's featured as a player.
Born in Christchurch, he grew up in Ngāruawāhia , where the radio featured large.
After seven decades at the top of his game, Mike Nock is to be inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Wellington tomorrow.
He told Kathryn the honour is even more special coming from his country.
