Nine piece jazz combo Yurodny are sure to entertain while fiddle maestro and composer Caomhin O Raghallaigh will intrigue. Fresh from a four star review in the prestigious Strad magazine and performances around Europe, piano trio Ensemble Avalon will perform music to engage even the most jaded ear, and American improvising cellist Matt Turner will demonstrate his incredible versatility. All this plus some very special guests!

On this Monday's Bank Holiday programme I'll be talking to musician, composer and rock legend Jon Lord. A founding member of Deep Purple, he's also the man who got me listening to Bach when I was still a long-haired teenager with a taste for loud rock music. In the interview Jon talks about Deep Purple, the Hammond organ and of course his Concerto for Group and Orchestra performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra back in 1969. And when we're done talking, I'm going to play his latest classical piece - The Durham Concerto - in its entirety. Hope you can tune in.

We've started a new exclusive club - The JK Ensemble Ensemble, made up of some of our favourite musicians. We've already added Hélène Grimaud and Charlie Haden to the list. Any thoughts on who we should add next?
