:

Music programme featuring live sessions from contemporary and classic artists. Joining Jools on the final show of the series are Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone of legendary psychedelic rock band The Zombies. They chat with Jools and perform a couple of tracks, including one of their 1960s classics. All-round soul man CeeLo returns following his huge success in 2010 with songs from his upcoming fifth album Heart Blanche. Dan Auerbach, known for being half of US band The Black Keys, brings his side project The Arcs to the studio to perform numbers from their debut album Yours, Dreamily, whose garage sound has been described as 'classic American soul with hints of Mariachi rancheros and 90s trip-hop'. From west London and making her TV debut is singer and producer Shura, whose musical influences of early 80s Madonna and New York club culture shine brightly on songs from her forthcoming and much anticipated debut LP. From Kinshasa, two former members of Staff Benda Bilili have teamed up with Irish producer Liam Farrell to create Mbongwana Star, whose heady mix of frantic rhythms, psychedelia and weaving soukous guitar lines rip up any preconceptions of Congolese music. Idiosyncratic and ethereal US songwriter and harpist Joanna Newsom returns to the show to play a track or two from her long-awaited fourth album Divers. Last but not least, the beautiful but menacing harmonies of Duluth, Minnesota, trio Low, who return to the show with songs from their latest album Ones and Sixes.
