Mike & Aali discuss the rise of the London & U.K Jazz scene, exploring how this new wave of jazz-inspired instrumentalists, producers, and vocalists connect the spirit of traditional jazz with their influences from mainstream culture. They speak on how the next generation of U.K jazz-infused talent is being prepared and developed for the future and on the scene’s talented musicians pushing the needle forward on today's popular music. They reference key initiatives in the London scene's story including Tomorrow's Warriors and jazz re:freshed.

They then discuss the weekend’s English Premier League fixtures and results, before previewing Monday night's titanic fixture between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford. Other talking points covered include the impact of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's interest in buying Manchester United on the Glazer family, the continuing progress of Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, the resilience of Spurs, Rodgers's position at Leicester City, and, the suggested curse of Chelsea number 9's.
