Richard Spaven in concert

Concert highlights from leading UK drummer Richard Spaven's performance at Yardbird! in Cardiff.

Jordan Rakei, sitting in all week for Soweto Kinch, presents 'Round Midnight - a weeknight celebration of jazz from across the spectrum, with a particular focus on new UK music.

Tonight Jordan shares concert highlights from legendary drummer Richard Spaven, recorded live at Yardbird! In Cardiff earlier this year. His compositions draw from jazz tradition as well as taking influence from his background as a core member of UK club, drum and bass, and hip hop scenes. His drumming style offers metronomic precision and endless creativity.

For this performance, Richard was joined by Yves Fernandez on bass and Stuart McCallum on guitar. Together they performed music from Richard鈥檚 latest album Sole Subject.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask 蜜芽传媒 Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
