Episode 5
With Florence + The Machine, New York musician Brian Jackson, soul singer Omar, Cardiff five-piece Panic Shack, classical pianist VÃkingur Ólafsson and Londoner Baxter Dury.
Jools welcomes Florence + The Machine, who performs a couple of songs, including the title track of her sixth studio album, Everybody Scream, which 'treads through womanhood, partnership, ageing and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane'. Jools also chats to Florence at the piano, where they discuss a new instrument in her band - a glass armonica.
Jools also welcomes New York musician and producer Brian Jackson and south London soul star Omar, who have collaborated on a recording of the classic 1974 track The Bottle that features on Brian’s album Now More Than Ever, which sees him rework songs he wrote with his previous collaborator Gil Scott-Heron. Omar also performs the title track from his album Brighter the Days, which features guest spots from the likes of Paul Weller, Giggs and India Arie.
From Cardiff, five-piece band Panic Shack, who have a sound described as 'punk without being punk', showcase their exhilarating live energy with a performance of Gok Wan, taken from their debut self-titled album.
From ReykjavÃk, Jools welcomes the world-renowned classical composer and concert pianist VÃkingur Ólafsson, who performs an Icelandic composition, Ave MarÃa by Sigvaldi Kaldalóns. Jools and VÃkingur also chat and perform a duet at the piano.
Completing the line-up is Londoner Baxter Dury, who performs the title track from his ninth album, Allbarone, which was produced by Paul Epworth and is described as a 'romantasy', dealing with everything from love, losing his driving licence and world politics.
