Blue Note's opening a London venue, so Jochen's back for his second appearance and we're running through the London rooms that actually matter for jazz. Ronnie Scott's, the Jazz Cafe, Steam Down, Cafe OTO, and a fifth slot we gave up on and turned into honourable mentions.

00:00 - Cold open: take two, and Blue Note coming to London
01:50 - Ronnie Scott's: Soho, Steve Gadd, and the cinematic jazz club
06:20 - Jazz Cafe, Camden: eclectic programming and Jochen's favourite room
11:36 - Steam Down: the collective and the Wednesday night sessions
18:53 - Cafe OTO: experimental bookings and the Japanese underground
28:21 - Number five, or honourable mentions instead
29:19 - Barbican, Southbank Centre, Pizza Express Live & more
