Fantastic show as always! Maybe consider doing a two-parter on the No Business label some time? Just a thought.

Thanks Roger - I was definitely thinking of a two-parter on Sam Rivers but will also think about one on NoBusiness. I have played some of their other releases on the show, but there is definitely a lot on offer!
