Fresh from Booker Stardrum

Soweto is back with another hour of exciting new releases, and jazz classics.

Mark Lockheart returns with his third 4/4 album spotlight of the week. Tonight, he chooses a record from a saxophonist and composer who he is deeply inspired by.

Also in the programme, there is music from Lilly Hertzman, The Copasetics, and Francesca Confortini and Ryan Mackenzie.

‘Round Midnight is presented by award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch. This weekday late-night show celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene and spotlights the best new music alongside incredible acts from past decades.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight".
