Four legends of British jazz are live in session for 'Round Midnight with a new project.

‘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.

Tonight, Soweto welcomes British jazz royalty to the our usual ‘Round Midnight live session studio at The Premises. They are double bassist and co-founder of Tomorrow’s Warriors Gary Crosby, saxophonist Steve Williamson, saxophonist Denys Baptiste, and drummer Winston Clifford. In this special Friday night edition of the show, we hear the music of their new project ‘Africa Space Programme’. Led by Gary, the project presents improvisational music centred on jazz compositions by artists that the band admire.

Expect a musical journey guided by musicians whose trust in each other has been forged over years of playing today, plus an in conversation full of memories and wisdom from some of the UK’s enduring jazz titans.
