This week's PBS Feature Album is Black Classical Music, the debut solo album by multi-instrumentalist Yussef Dayes.

Widely recognised as one of the most electrifying live performers of his generation, watching the South London-raised producer, composer and drummer perform is an exhilarating combo of technical prowess, intensity and emotion – leaving audiences in no doubt as to the role of rhythm in channelling spiritual energy. 

This week's PBS Feature Album is The Shores of Infinity, the fourth album by 9-piece spiritual jazz group Menagerie. 

Menagerie is the Melbourne-based Jazz ensemble founded by producer, songwriter, guitarist, DJ and recording artist Lance Ferguson, who is also the driving force behind The Bamboos, Lanu, Rare Groove Spectrum and Machines Always Win. 

This week's PBS Feature Album is Hearing by icon of the Australian and international jazz scenes, Mike Nock. In a career spanning more than 65 years, including 25 years in the US, he has worked with the world’s top jazz artists and garnered a swag of awards, including being inducted into the Australian Jazz Hall of Fame. 

PBS is saddened by the passing of Ron S. Peno. As a member of Died Pretty, Screaming Tribesmen, Darling Downs and many more - most recently fronting Ron S. Peno and the Superstitions - Ron's presence in and influence on our country's musical landscape cannot be overstated. 

PBS has has a long relationship with Ron S. Peno. His most recent LP with The Superstitions, Do The Understanding, was PBS Feature Album in August 2021, and he's been a guest countless times, including performing a very special Studio 5 Live performance on Mixing Up The Medicine in 2015.
