Cécile McLorin Salvant's 4/4
Soweto is joined by French-American composer, singer, visual artist and master storyteller Cécile McLorin Salvant.
‘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.
From Monday to Thursday this week, Soweto is joined by French-American composer, singer, visual artist and master storyteller Cécile McLorin Salvant. Cécile is internationally celebrated for her vocal dexterity and daring, her compositional inventiveness, and is recognised as one of contemporary jazz’s leading singers. Among her many accolades Cécile has won three Grammy Awards, the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2010, and is a MacArthur Fellow.
Her music weaves a broad range of influences including jazz, baroque, folkloric music and vaudeville, always with humour and inquisitiveness. A multi-linguist, Cécile sings in French and English, as well as Occitan and Haitian Kreyòl.
Cécile’s new album “Oh Snap” is out this Friday 19th September.
To begin her week as Soweto’s 4/4 guest, Cécile chooses to spotlight a record by a vocalist, poet, and an early champion of bebop.
There’s also music tonight from J.A.M. String Collective, Fabia Mantwill Orchestra, and Sloth Racket.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask ѿý Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
