* For the third week, we look at the incredible album from Quintessence, titled "5am". This week, a slightly funkier track called "Broken" and a replay of the fantastic "Friday", as featured last month in the Threeplay

* I had real trouble picking the track of this week's House of Grooveline. I almost went with the Polyphonics (which I decided to open the show with instead). In the end, I went with the new soulful instrumental track from Deep Factor, called "Warriors Theme". I think I made the right choice

* As if the Quintessence album, and your handsome presenter (?! - ed) didn't bring enough beauty to the show this week, we're featuring the sound of Julie Dexter on the Threeplay this week. Three tracks back to back from this Brummie Beauty.

Coming up on this week's show:

* Music from Jon Cutler, Maysa Leak, Don Blackman, Angela Johnson, Karen Bernod and some rare EWF from 1979's I Am sessions

* A new year, a new month and a new Album of the Month. I mentioned I'd probably do it last year, so no surprises that January 2007's album is 5am from Quintessence. It's such a great album, and you'll hear two tracks each week from it

* The House of Grooveline is one of my favourite sections of the show - I do my best to pick the best and newest tracks that are out there, and this week is no exception. Brand new and so smooth from Stephanie Cooke, and "Here With My Best Friend"

* For, I believe, the second time the Grooveline Threeplay looks at the music of the James Taylor Quartet, including their take on a fairly famous 70s TV theme!

* Lots more music, music news and gig information

(This week's show will be live on Friday)
