A masterclass in the blues from Vieux Farka Touré
A track from legendary Malian singer and guitarist Vieux Farka Touré, son of the great Ali Farka Touré.
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.
From Monday to Thursday Jordan has been joined by Alfa Mist as his guest for this week’s Flowers feature. To conclude his tenure, Alfa decides to give his final bunch to an American jazz pianist noted for his exploratory compositions.
Also in the programme, there’s music from Emma-Jean Thackray, Joy Crookes and Aden.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask ѿý Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
