Kit Downes' Flowers

Pianist Kit Downes selects living legends and unsung heroes to celebrate.

‘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 heritage acts.

Pianist Kit Downes has been one of the most in-demand players in UK jazz over the past two decades, and he is Soweto's guest this week giving out his Flowers. This feature gives artists the chance to celebrate fellow musicians they feel deserve recognition and respect. The first bouquet goes to fellow piano player Craig Taborn.

Plus, there's music from Waaju and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing act SwanNek, as well as two pieces in tribute to John Coltrane, whose birthday would've been today.
