We chat to young saxophone virtuoso Xhosa Cole about his music, his recent tour, the BBC Young Musician Of The Year competition as well as plans for the future.   Also, a great interview with piano maestro Oli Howe about his forthcoming album with his jazz fusion project Howes 3.  

And of course our pick of the hottest gigs coming up in the next month or so.
