Hopefully you caught the first outing into the world of Radio Scotland Remixed last night. If not, you can listen again and catch Ricky Ross bringing a touch of Americana to Vic Galloway's Monday night slot.
Day two sees Jazz House presenter Stephen Duffy take over Mary Ann Kennedy's Global Gathering and explore world music from a jazz angle.
We spoke to Stephen to find out more and you can listen live tonight at 8PM:
What can listeners expect from tonight's show?
I'm looking forward to hearing some of Scotland's top jazz talent take on some traditional tunes from right across the world, but also can't wait to see what kind of reaction we get from the world music audience to Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton. As the line between what is jazz and what isn't is getting thinner and thinner, I think they're going to love it!
Who would be your ideal guest artist/band and why?
My perfect studio guests; without question that would have to be singer Ella Fitzgerald with pianist Oscar Peterson and the entire Count Basie Orchestra. The greatest band in the history of jazz with the greatest singer and the greatest pianist. Nuff said!In the style of Desert Island Discs, imagine you're stuck on a desert island and have a radio, but it can only tune into one show...what show would you listen to and why?
, the madcap and saucy Ö÷²¥´óÐã comedy from the 1960's starring and . How they got with away such near the knuckle humour, that's still really risqué even now. I'll never know! I never fail to howl with laughter at the sheer genius of it all. And like all good shows of the time, they had a big, swingin in-house band too. It was surreal and naughty and charming all at the same time. Brilliant!
Here's a clip of Martin Taylor, filmed live on The Jazz House on Radio Scotland to give you a glimpse into Stephen's world:
