Too much music not enough time! Russ Jones trys to fit in as many new releases as possible in this episode; with new music from the Budos Band, Nicodemus, Sidestepper, Douster and more. An extended 'live in' section with an additional excursion to Bristol and a not so 'live' selection but a an amazing DJ session at Dingwalls in London and a track from that gig. A bit of jazz, swing and bossa style and - as always - music from around the globe.
