A classic from Billie Holiday

Soweto presents a timeless piece from the great Lady Day that showcases her vocal mastery.

‘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.

All this week, Lakecia Benjamin has been Soweto’s guest for Flowers, giving props to some of the artists that she admires. Concluding her selections, Lakecia pays homage to one of UK jazz’s powerhouse bands, whose mission is to spread joy far and wide.

Lakecia’s latest single, Noble Rise, is out now via Ropeadope.

Also in the show, music from Conor Chaplin, Esther Bennett and Naïssam Jalal.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
