:

Joining Jools for the seventh show of this series are The Strokes, who make a long-awaited return to the show to play tracks from their latest album Angles, and Staff Benda Bilili, based around a core of disabled musicians who used to rehearse in a zoo, and who have recently been the subject of a film - Benda Bilili! - which appeared at Cannes to critical acclaim. We also hear from The Burns Unit, an eight-piece Scottish-Canadian collective whose members include award-winning folk singer Karine Polwart, alt-folk royalty King Creosote and indie queen Emma Pollock; Seasick Steve, performing songs from his latest album You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks, forming a hobo power trio alongside drummer Dan Magnusson and bassist John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin and Them Crooked Vultures fame; and Charlie Haden Quartet West, in which the legendary double bassist teams up with wife Ruth Cameron to perform music from his Sophisticated Ladies album.
