A classic from Toshiko Akiyoshi

Laura Misch has one more album to celebrate for 4/4, and Soweto presents another hour of exciting jazz music including a track from the seminal Japanese pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi.

Tonight saxophonist, vocalist, producer and field recordist Laura Misch is back with her fourth and final record choice of the week for 4/4. Rounding off her week, Laura highlights an album by a Norwegian electronic music artist who weaves jazz and ambient influences into her sound worlds.

Also in the programme, there is music from Chiminyo, Pete Horsfall, and Julia Hülsmann Octet.

‘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.
