Dr. Adolf Ahanotu has been played on NTS shows including The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones, with Ijere first played on 6 December 2015.

At a time when bandleaders in Nigeria used titles as an affectation, Dr. Adolf Ahanotu was the real deal. He had a PhD in music compilation and Master’s degrees in education and communication. He also played a mean tenor sax, an instrument he mastered touring Owerri with the Mirabels. Ahanotu’s scholarly background is apparent in the impeccable arrangements and the way each track is labelled with its musical type.
