鈥楻ound 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.

Soweto鈥檚 guest this week is the internationally celebrated singer, pianist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Jon Batiste. His eclectic, inventive and musically expansive compositions have seen him nominated for five Grammy Awards from twenty nominations. His recording and performance credits include with Stevie Wonder, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Roy Hargrove, and his film credits include as the co-composer of Pixar鈥檚 animated film Soul.

The Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, Jon Batiste's musical roots run deep; he is a member of the musical dynasty the Batiste family, which includes Milton Batiste of the Olympia Brass Band, Lionel Batiste of the Treme Brass Band, and Russell Batiste Jr.

From Monday to Thursday this week, Jon will be taking us round his record collection, choosing four releases that have help shaped his sound and musical outlook. To begin he selects an album from an American piano titan written in homage to London town.

Plus there鈥檚 music from Phi-Psonics, Hazel Scott, and Alina Bzhezhinska.
