This episode features the following tracks:
- David Versace - 'Saguaro' (Okra La Sape Records) Brisbane-based multi-instrumentalist David Versace shares his much anticipated debut LP Okra, his first solo album for La Sape Records.

Led by award-winning saxophonist, Joshua Kelly (30/70 collective, PBS Young Elder of Jazz 2019), the band returns to the label with a follow up EP to the mind-bending 2021 release, What’s Real?.
- Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll & The Trinity - 'Red Beans and Rice' (Far Horizons !K7)
