At The Stables this week, ace instrumentalist James Taylor, bringing his trademark howling Hammond sound to the Wavendon haunt.
He's been doing just that for the past quartet century, taking his rare-groove style funk and boogaloo funk of the 60s and 70s far and wide.
Quite rightly, the JT Quartet is regarded as one of the most important jazz-pop crossover outfits in the history of our Brit players.
While Taylor holds court in the Jim Marshall Auditorium on Thursday (Feb 26), across the way in Stage 2, Garland Jeffreys (below) will lead the way.
Forty years in, and Garland is still passionate. He is the real deal.
At times described as an 'edgy urban poet, the sound of New York, a confessional singer-songwriter and an explorer of the links between rock, race and rebellion whose work should be taught in schools,' Jeffrey's can't be assigned to any genre, and he won't squeeze into any metaphorical box. He is unique. Try him.
There is Music in the Round on Friday (Feb 27) evening with Trio Da Kali, a three-piece hailing from the Mande culture of Mali, and whose performance will revolve around the soaring, rounded vibrato voice of Hawa Kasse Mady.
The venue lays on something for the kids on Saturday (Feb 28) with Hiccup Theatre and their production, Three Wise Monkeys (top pic).
They are on their journey to wisdom - when should you tell a fib? When do you keep a secret? And when do you help your friends make sense of it all?
The classic Japanese proverb is styled with live music, puppetry and mischievous storytelling.
Little monkeys aged between three and seven years will love it. So will Mummy and Daddy!
Choose your performance - 11.30am or 2pm.
Tickets to see British Bluesbreakers King King (below) on Saturday night are nearly all gone - at the last check there were a minimal amount of standing only left.

Also playing on Saturday - in Stage 2 - is MK spoken word meets hip hop ace Soul Urban Poet. More about that on Total MK imminently.
Members of The Moody Blues, The Hollies and The Manfreds have joined forces as The Reflections, and arrive on Sunday (March 1) to play you through pleasing hits including Nights in White Satin, He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother), We Don't Talk Anymore and Forever Autumn.
On Tuesday (March 3), Bach Reloaded will take the music of Bach 'on an inspired and eclectic journey through the myriad worlds of jazz.'
'Using themes, quotes and snatches of music from Bach's partitas, suites and sonatas, the trio whisk them up with other classic reference points from Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter, to music from North American and South Africa.'
