A classic from Wayne Shorter

Soweto returns with more exciting jazz music coming out of the UK and from around the world, and Alex Hitchcock is back with another jazz artist he admires for Flowers.

Saxophonist and arranger Alex Hitchcock has a third bouquet of Flowers to give to a contemporary artist that he resonates with. Tonight, it’s the turn of an award-winning trumpet player from New Hampshire.

There’s music also to come from Dorothy Ashby, Albert Ayler and Niamh Corkey.

‘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.'
