Where does Dave Brubeck's celebrated 1961 classic Take Five lead us? Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye are joined by saxophonist Jess Gillam to select the next five tracks to add to the playlist.

Last week's musical journey took us from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to London jazz clubs, and we're travelling again today, from Lahore to New York and beyond, with the forensic help of composer and musician Nitin Sawhney and early music specialist Barnaby Smith.
