An elastic circle, a Rainbow Sign from Ron Miles, Eldar enjoys a Night in Tunisia, a Personal Legend and remembering Curtis Fuller . .all on Jumpin In . . .

It's a BruJazzWe special .. . as the aged cats console themselves that for the second year in a row, a trip to the Brussels Jazz festival hasn't happened. But the music lives on in this celebration of some of the many artists they've enjoyed there over the years . . along with sausages, cheese and of course wheat beer . . . 

It's the first in an occasional mini-series the cats are calling "Old Masters" - music written or inspired by some of the jazz greats. Setting the bar high to start . . . they feature the prince of darkness himself . . . Miles Davis . . .

The boys experience a bonegasm . . ooer missus . . . a Shotgun Wedding, get molecular with James Brandon-Lewis and enjoy Karin Krog's birthday postcard . . .
